I hope that you will enjoy this “Into Wisconsin’s Outdoors” series! This is the 1st video in my production series!

Created on July 9, 2010 using FlipShare. In a residential area, up to 3 semi diesels operate on one small property (one semi tractor operated by a local official) for as long as 8 hours at a time, while thick diesel clouds flood homes nearby.
In June, the Wisconsin legislature killed a bill which restricted diesel idling, and then, days later, revealed a “Clean Air Act” which restricts tobacco smoke in businesses.
As quality of life is destroyed in Wisconsin, and state and local governments snooze, property taxes are among the highest in the US.
If you like diesel noise and fumes, please buy my property at thousands below the assessed value. The land is exquisite, with fruit trees and gardens, and a sweet view of the Mississippi River. To me, it’s completely ruined by diesel noise and fumes.

Nelson Dewey State Park is a land of incredible vistas overlooking the Mississippi River valley. On the site is the home of Wisconsin’s first governor, Nelson Dewey. His 2,000 acre plantation was considered the state’s first large scale farming operation. The governor’s first home was gutted by fire in 1873. The current building was built on the original foundation. Across the road, the State Historical Society operates Stonefield Village and the State Farm Museum. There are a number of effigy mounds constructed by the Hopewell Indian group along the bluff trails and overlooks in the 750 acre park. The trail through the dry lime prairie restoration along the edge of the overlook is very scenic. Tent campers will be impressed with the four walk-in sites overlooking the Mississippi River valley. Slide show by John Wanserski.

LYRICS:
this town has got a drinking problem
and it gets worse here every year
he stalks his victims by the river
he stalks the students full of beer
he’s a Mississippi Madman
and it’s a Mississippi mystery
is there a Mississippi Madman?
the maddest murderer in history!
he lurks in shadows down on Third Street
he knows the river like his hand
he chooses victims very carefully
the ones that cannot stand
somehow he gets them to the river
somehow he pushes them in
somehow they do not struggle
somehow they can’t swim
ooh he’s a Mississippi Madman
and it’s a Mississippi mystery
is there a Mississippi Madman?
the maddest murderer in history!
he’s known as Chief Kondraki
and he is just like an Iraqi
he has no direction
and he sees no connection
to the Mississippi Madman
ooh it’s a Mississippi mystery
is there a Mississippi madman?
the maddest murderer in history!
I play Guitar, madolin, drum, and I believe there are five vocal tracks layed down.
