Beautiful Baraboo

Baraboo? Unless you have been here, you probably have no idea where it is located. Any guess?



The trees are full of color. Birds have already headed south.
In the center of this small town, a local coffee shop fills up with neighbors spending time together. This little box is for exchanging books with one another.

A popular state park fills up with campers and day hikers. I suspect cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are popular in the winter.
While you are here, you can visit Aldo Leopold's shack and visit the foundation that his family started to continue the legacy that he started with his book, The Sand County Almanac. The property surrounding his shack once was an abandoned, desolate farm. He and his family restored the land by planting thousands of trees and wildflowers.
There is a lot of wisdom in this book that was published in 1948.
Have you figured out where Baraboo is yet?
