S.P.S.P.

     For several years, I’ve wanted to visit the Sculpture Park in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It’s not far from where I live, and I actually drive past Stevens Point at least a couple times a year.

I finally made it there with my daughter last Friday, when we were experiencing record high temps and the sun was shining brightly. Good thing the trail through the park is mostly wooded.

I started out taking pictures of the signs which described each piece of art, but I quickly nixed that idea. I just wanted to enjoy each piece along with its wooded setting.

And some artwork really needs no explanation. But I do apologize to the talented artists for not recognizing them.

If you are ever in Central Wisconsin, swing by the Park yourself. As I learned from reading their website, the sculptures do change at times, so you may not see the same things I did.

But most importantly, always remember:

And there's no need to be more.

Every Evermor Foreverton, Dells post #12

     Even for me, this was one of the stranger places I’ve visited, on the south side of Bluffview, just across Hwy 12 from the Badger Ammunition Site. Fascinating, but strange. Or at least strange after you know its history.

In 1983, Tom O. Every transformed himself into Dr Evermor and built a several hundred-ton sculpture all out of scrap metal, naming it the Forevertron. The purpose of this structure was to transport Dr Evermor to the heavens.  

Or so the story goes.

For me, the Forevertron was too big and imposing. 

I much preferred all the hundreds of items he had salvaged from around the country and brought home to the grounds of his sculpture park.

My imagination could get completely out of control in such a place.

Oh, if only we had a little bit more property and Hubby was a little more willing to let me go crazy.

As it was, only my friend and I toured the park that October day when the heavens threatened to rain down on us. Or maybe it was the heavens calling to Dr Evermor to get in his Forevertron and head home.
