Kaukauna is an interesting burb - After visiting 1000 Islands Nature Center, my daughter and I drove around, checking things out. If it wasn't for the reputation of the Paper Valley Stink, I'd consider living there. If you have been through Poy Sippi, then maybe you can see what draws my eye. And in Kaukauna, that's how I found this broken down farmstead.
This road was much, much older, and dead-ended at thesecond abandoned farm. It seemed obvious that these were the only properties until the land was sold off and other homes were built. There was one other home that I found most intriguing. It had no real parking space, no garage (other than the road), but it had plenty of lawn for people to relax and hang out (which I did, not on the property itself). It was well cared for and the general feel of the place was peaceful, pleasant. I snapped a few, hoping to capture that essence. I am not sure if I was sucessful.
What I did see was a striking amount of abandonment for the size of this town. Honestly,when you consider the history of the paper industry, then it really is not that surprising. We also saw a lot of homes that were under renovation, which was heartening to see.
As for the rest of Kaukauna, we didn't see any Pelicans. Lots of jumping carp (no decent shots of that, sorry). They go by Bighead or Silver Carp I could be naming the wrong fish, but if I am right, please read up.
