Highway 41 approaches Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

 

We are now nearing Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.  Fond du Lac means "bottom of the lake", and in this case it's geographical, not limnological -- Fond du Lac is loc-ated at the southern end of Wisconsin's big Lake Winnebago.  And there's some interesting geology and geography associated with this lake, so as the Highway 41 end-to-end Streetview trek goes by the lake, we'll investigate some of that, too.

So let's start out south of Fond du Lac.

Outside Fond du Lac; it is somewhat hard to tell it's nearby.

Let's take a couple of looks around Fond du Lac

South Main Street, by Veterans Park (City Hall is on the other side of the park)

 

This is the bridge over the Fond du Lac River on Scott Street. The Fond du Lac River is not a very long river; 10-12 miles depending on which creek you choose as its origin.

Next time, in very short order, we'll visit the Fond du Lac lakefront.
