Wisconsin Lighthouses: Kenosha & Racine
Back in March of 2023, we explored the lighthouses of Kenosha and Racine in South-Eastern Wisconsin along the shore of Lake Michigan.
It was a mild overcast late winter day in South-Eastern Wisconsin. Perfect to get out of hibernation and explore.
In Kenosha, we checked out the Kenosha Pierhead Lighthouse as well as the old Southport Lighthouse.
In Racine, we checked out the Reef Lighthouse, the Breakwater Light, and the old Racine Harbor Lighthouse.

Waterfalls At 20 Below: Visiting Bond Falls and Agate Falls in the Deep Winter
Переглядів 212Рік тому
Back in early 2021, we traveled to the Northwoods in search of frozen waterfalls. In the week leading up to the travel, the temps had been hovering between 20 and 30 degrees below zero. Plenty cold enough for waterfall viewing....I think. We started Northward from Kenosha and traveled the length of the state of Wisconsin up to the Land O Lakes area on Lac Vieux Desert. From our base camp just o...

    I grew up in Waterford in the 60s and 70s, and moved to AZ at the age of 15 in 1977. With just a few exceptions, Main Street looks pretty much the same. I have to admit, sometimes I do miss the small town atmosphere.

    I live here, I was raised here. I left for a while but I'm back. It's amazing to see how much the town has changed and grown, it was a bit of a shock when I came back and it continues to grow now. It'll always have a special place in my heart, even if I don't stay here forever.

    When I was a kid in the '50s we vacationed every year at my grandparents cabins on Big Portage Lake near Land O' Lakes. Back then there was no electricity, no running water, no TV or phones at the lake. We had an out house, a pump in the kitchen for water, an ice box for cooling, an oil stove for heat and Coleman lanterns for light. It was really cool and I have such fond memories from those wonderful days.

    I used to go to Thunderbay resort every year as a kid with my dad when growing up. This was a good video giving feeling of the area and even the driving nearby. The owners of the resort at the time (late 70's and early 80's) were Dick and Fran and they had a husky named Poncho. Still have a couple baseball caps from there. Was always good fishing especially for panfish. Glad it doesn't look too different even after all this time.

    We've been to DC many times and have fallen into that "void" where it's off season and most of the shops are closed, or only open on weekends. We purposely go off season to avoid the mad crush of tourists, mostly from our neighbors to the south. It can actually get almost to grid lock some times.

    Thank you for your 'Stellar Videos' about the Area, where I grew up in! Spent my first Quarter-Century in Superior, but now I'm retired, and living in Northern Kentucky. So impressed with everything, especially the 'Commentary Driving', which everyone appreciates! It really 'Rubs Me the Wrong Way', whenever I stumble upon a 'Driving Tour', in, and around a particular geographic area, with the sound totally turned to 'OFF', while the driver goes through various areas of a city/town, without a Single Word, as to the Who's, What's, Why's, When or Where's! Anyone can place a forward-facing dash cam against the windshield, while driving around without a Single Word, so the viewer will not only see it, but LEARN from what they see. There is No Good excuse, to the contrary! Thanks again, for one of the Very Best descriptive videos, that I have ever seen. And if you're 'Gun Shy', why not ask a friend, if they would care to have the honor of doing it, With A Voice! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Y'all, from Florence, Kentucky!

Because we had a warm spring and super hot summer. Show much so that it heated up the lake.

    Thanks for the tour. I was born in Kenosha Memorial Hospital and while my parents were natives, we moved to Ohio when I was born. I remember the Kenosha of the 1960s when I was a kid and spent summers in my grandmother’s house at 6208 7th Avenue. Sadly the hospital, right across the street, took her house and several of her neighbors’ and built that monstrosity of a parking garage ruining a beautiful street. My mother was both a graduate of and a teacher at Kemper Hall. My great, great grandfather John Nicoll was a founder of the Gottfredsen & Nicoll Jewelry store, right next to where you had lunch at Rustic Road. Library Park was close to my grandmother’s and I remember it well. My grandmother’s sister, Susan Swandale, married Charles C. Allen, owner of the Allen tannery, a huge part of Kenosha history now largely forgotten. They owned the magnificent house along 3rd Avenue. Two more of my great aunts (Mrs. Pettit and Mrs. Carpenter) also lived in beautiful 3rd Avenue homes. My grandfather, Henry Lundskow worked closely with his step brothers, Martin and Tony Winther when they founded Dynamatic, eventually bought by Eaton Corp. I think you even drove by Henry’s old, brown house at 75th and 21st. I can’t believe it’s been nearly 45 years since I was there.
