2008-06-09 - Lake Delton empties
[Info] [GM] [LL] [YM]
By: milwhcky
@ 2008-06-30 17:50:56
This 267 acre manmade lake was created in 1927 as part of the creation of the Wisconsin Dells resort area following the Great Depression. The lake features resorts and luxury homes along it's shores. It was also home to the Tommy Bartlett's water skiing show and offered scenic boat and amphibious Duck tours.

Several days of heavy rain in 2008 led to the lake washing out a section of land along the north shore, creating a new channel that caused the lake to drain into the nearby Wisconsin River. Television cameras captured dramatic scenes of homes being torn from their foundations and being carried down the river.

Plans are underway to repair the washed out shoreline with hopes that the lake will be refilled before the 2009 tourism season begins. Volunteers have taken advantage of the situation by removing trash from the lakebed.]]>

In 1936, Wisconsin Mining School students created a large 'M' by stomping through the snow on the slope of the Platte Mounds. The following spring, a permanent 'M' was created with 400 tons of limestone. Over the years, the mining school evolved into what is now the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/47801/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/47801/ Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:37:48 -0500 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/47801/ 42.76368900 -90.40661200 <![CDATA['The Calling' by Mark di Suvero]]>

The Yerkes Observatory, arguably the birthplace of modern astrophysics, is an astronomical observatory of the University of Chicago in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. It was created in 1897 by George Ellery Hale and financed by Charles T. Yerkes. The observatory represented a shift in the thinking of observatories, from mere housing for a telescope and observer, to the modern concept of observation equipment integrated with laboratory space for physics and chemistry. A 102 cm (40 inch) refracting telescope built by the master optician Alvan Clark is located inside; it was the largest telescope in the world until the construction of Mount Wilson's 60 inch (152 cm) reflector. It remains the largest refracting telescope ever used.

Telescopes
refractor: 40-inch (102 cm)
reflector: 40-inch (102 cm)
reflector: 24-inch (61 cm)
Cassegrain reflector: 10-inch (25 cm)
Schmidt camera: 7-inch (18 cm)

Octagonal Art Deco water tower built in 1938. In addition to holding 1 million gallons of water, it also housed municipal offices for the Town of Lake. The City of Milwaukee eventually annexed the town, and the tower was taken out of service in 2001. In 2002, the building was remodeled and now houses offices for the Department of Neighborhood Services. It has been renamed the Anderson Municipal Building.]]>
