Interesting Places.......Fiberglass Mold Yard






Happy New Year!  This past year one of our chill out weekends was to Cranberry Fest in Warrens, WI.  We had a great time visiting with our Chicago family and looking at all the great crafts.  Sorry, no crafty pictures.  It was extremely crowded and very difficult to take pictures even if you were allowed to do so.

FAST: Fiberglass Mold Yard

The most interesting place we visited was to see the Eye at the FAST: Fiberglass Statue Mold Yard.  This happens to be a place where they make those huge fiberglass statues that we always see here and there.  You can walk through at your own risk to see all the molds that are laying about.  The Fiberglass Mold Yard is located on Hwy 21 just outside of Sparta, WI.

The all seeing eye!

A great weekend was had by all!

Lava Flow Trek

While in Hawai'i this year, my family and I went on a trek to see the lava flow.  Since the lava is flowing on private lands, we found one of the land owners giving hiking tours out to the flow.  It was amazing and hot, hot, hot.  The lava is slow moving and it is also amazing how much ground it covers in a short time.  Our trip was with Kalapana Lava Trek.
Since our trip the Pu'u O'o vent has collapsed and there is no new lava flowing in Kalapana.  If you are heading to Hawai'i, check the Volcano National Park's website for the latest information on where the lava is flowing. 
I can cross this one off of the bucket list!




The Trek Begins
