WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK


  Lake Winnebago caused by a fault in the rock. The latter area has
  recently been purchased as a state park.
    Another interesting geological formation in this state are the
  caves west of Madison. Among the better known are the Cave of
  the Mounds at Blue Mounds, Eagle Cave at Muscoda and Crystal
  Cave at Spring Valley. Formed by water running through the lime-
  stone, they reveal fantastic patterns.
    Another interesting formation is found in the Devil's Lake area
  where a formation of quartzite juts out of the otherwise level area
  forming cliffs of resistant rock.
    One of the most startling natural life scenes in the area is the
 Horicon Marsh which is a wildlife refuge. In spring and fall it is
 a haven for thousands of waterfowl.
    The Menominee Forest on the lands of the Menominee Indian
 Tribe is one of the few remaining stands of virgin timber. Through
 selective forestry much of the original beauty of this area has been
 retained. The giant white pine grove near Hiles is another area of
 virgin timber. Another area reserved for horticultural development
 is the arboretum in the west side of Madison owned by the university.
 A wild flower sanctuary named The Ridges is located near Bailey's
 Harbor in Door County, and Observatory Hill near Montello was
 the favorite boyhood attraction of John Muir, Wisconsin's most fam-
 ous naturalist.

          And for Those Who Just Want to Sit and Rest

   Wisconsin offers scores of opportunities from one corner to the
 other to sit in the cool of the pines or hardwoods by the side of
 either a turbulent or placid stream or picturesque lake and let the
 rest of the world go by. There are a few areas where the mass of
 humanity is too great to permit such restful inactivity, but there
 are literally thousands of places where it can be done. And if you
 insist that the temperature be moderate you can visit Two Rivers
 which is purported to be the coolest place in Wisconsin in summer or
 the shores of Lake Superior.


                            Conclusion

   These are but a few of the attractions which draw people to the
state and cause the people who are fortunate enough to live here to
move around. Most of us will, at some time or another, travel in
other states and our stay will be influenced by the treatment we re-
ceive. People are attracted to Wisconsin in part by the attitude of
the natives. It is our job to welcome them, and to treat them as we
hope they would treat us in their home state. Equal treatment is
the law of the state. As citizens and as human beings we should ad-
here to this concept.
