Highway 41 swings by Slinger

 

The Highway 41 end-to-end Streetview trek has official left the Milwaukee region of Wisconsin, and is not in the actual country.  And in this wilderness, there's a ski area.  Well, it does get cold and snowy in the Badger State, and if there's a slope, skiing is possible.


In the Wisconsin country, near Slinger.




Nothing too important here, but I noticed on the sign that 4 miles north of this spot, you can get cheese, sausage, bacon, and beef jerky. Nothing for the vegetarian, I guess.




Slinger is noteworthy for having a ski area (in mostly-flat Wisconsin) named "Little Switzerland". To the left, it's possible to glimpse the ski lift towers at the top of the ski area. It is NOT big.




A very short off-road excursion to get a slightly better look, and also to visit downtown Slinger. This is the best I can do for a slightly better look.




Downtown Slinger, right next to the Slinger House Pub and Grill.




Slinger High School. Take a look, then back to the highway. Couldn't find any famous alumni here either; but their team mascot is the Owls.



We are now officially on the road to Fond du Lac.
