The Forevertron
« on: March 01, 2011, 07:02:44 PM »
Wanted to share these links to a very interesting sculpture park located near my home in Southern Wisconsin, USA. The place has a very steampunk feel and the photos may be of some inspriation to some of the folks on this list.

Wiki background:

Hope this will inspire some of you.

Jaw dropped as I was thinking of all the times we drove somewhat near on our way to GenCon. THAT is disappointing!

Lord Randall, of all the times I directed us off course, how could I have missed this?  lol

Important safety tip, all, don't let me be the one watching the map.

Well, five hundred miles isn't near, but my group used to make an annual pilgrimage to MECCA in Milwaukee. ;->= Another fifty miles seems in the neighborhood, but you know how us colonials are.  :D

As we seldom go to GenCon, never mind it's no longer in Milwaukee, it's unlikely to be that near again, soon.  :'(
