Beautiful photo Mike, did you take it? Baraboo is about 50 miles north of Madison, it's a beautiful area with many unique qualities. Glaciers created a range of bluffs with spring fed lakes. I think the Ringlings fell in love with the area and used it for their northern base. There is a mansion in the middle of town (not open to the public), and a calliope plays everyday that can be heard through the whole town. The population was about 6000 when I lived there.

A lhama girl leads a lhama around with a leash all day at the museum and lets little kids pet him. On a good day the lhama will only spit 3-4 times. Stinky and sticky! This was a coveted job, believe it or not.
