Views of Dykesville, Wisconsin

It's a very small town on the bend in the road north of Green Bay, heading north up the peninsula. Nearby towns are, Luxemburg and Brussels - but the rumor is because of the name, a large population of lesbians have moved here.




Another guest, Mike (spending several weeks for nearby photo work) shared with me on the 'internet patio' that sits above Green Bay beach/Lake Michigan, that it wouldn't be long before the motel owner (Steve) would bemoan and share his sad story about his wife of 16 yrs leaving him for another woman.

Sure enough during my second encounter with Steve, without relating to anything we were talking about - detail by agonizing detail, he shared the whole unhappy, somber story . . .





Walking around Dykesville was so nice, I decided to stay for a second day.





Some beaches along the Lakes have no visible sand - just huge shell dunes of the non-native, invasive zebra mussel.




The cemetery in town is on a hill that slopes down from the church.



Most residents have small farms with rustic buildings.
