Trip Part 6 - Athens State Hospital

First, read about it here! We tried to make it there before 5 to meet with a lady who works there and iamcyber's friend. But we were 20 minutes late. The road was this little 2-lane windy road with dead-man's curves every other mile and those signs like in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. I am not exaggerating either. Seriously, this road was perilous! I think we ( Read more... )

Oh, so it was like CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

At least it would be if there are BIG-ASS oak trees on the dead-man curves so when you go into the curve too fast your car smashes up against the tree and BURSTS INTO FLAME!!

I kid you not, driving across Wisconsin in the wee hours of AM so you can get there at opening time is NOT FUN, and actually QUITE DANGEROUS. (Even though the big nighttime crime there is cow-tipping!)

Wisconsin is scary enough on the 4-lane highways. There's no WAY you'd see me on some little 2-lane thing over there! Fortunately my vacation only took me along I-94, which isn't too scary.

I've always not liked the trees in Wisconsin, trapping you there on this little stretch of road, looming above you and about 2 inches on either side of you. Ready to move in for the kill. But at least the parts I've been in are not as hilly as where we were in Ohio! Cause that would be well, even MORE scary!

LOL! I'm really not that fearless... especially since Peanut was born I think back on some of the things I've done and "OMG I did that?? I could have gotten killed!" ;) That guy I went to North Dakota with 2 years ago, now HE's fearless! He goes out on saggy roofs and jumps all over floors just trying to kill himself!

Did you get to see the graveyards with numbered graves?

laurapalmer813 July 18 2008, 13:05:54 UTC

I did! Its on the steepest damn hill EVER and I didn't think I was ever going to get back up! It was really great to see a real graveyard though, because Weston and Fergus Falls didn't mark the grave sites, just a big cross in the middle and grass. Um... BORing!
