  6. I'm guessing it's a "No Trespassing" sign in disguise. I think that might work in Wisconsin!

  9. LOL - that would be something! But it would be way to cold for them.

  10. I see a lot of those signs around here but I wouldn't have thought you'd see them up there. We have to be careful when we're out geocaching with our dog - gators like small dogs LOL

  11. Gators can't live up there in all that cold you guys have!

    Course, I'm sure you would take interesting pictures if they did!

  12. Maybe they mean the things you wear when you go skiing. Although there was a baby aligator living in the WI River one summer.

  13. Great find, Lisa! I especially like the random capitalization mixed with small caps :-)

  18. Well...let me tell ya a little story. My great-grandma, rest her soul, lived in Wisconsin. She came down here once to vist my grandmother and left with a special souvenier - a baby gator. Back in the day, they were commonly sold as pets to the tourists. The last anyone can remember of her gator, it grew larger (they tend to do that) and she was keeping it in her bath tub. What happened next, nobody knows. SO...yeah, there can be gaotrs in Wisconsin and they most likely are transplanted Floridians!
