Following coffee and hot chocolate at 44.96953 and -89.63492  (Culvers) we proceeded to Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum > www.lywam.org  < where they are exhibiting snow covered rocks on the outside and an exhibit for the birds inside. Also inside was a "hands on" children's area and all tried their hands at drawing, putting puzzles together, matching colors and the like. Here SKUNK Wayne excelled and completed a 3x4 foot puzzle of three pelicans, although with some effort, despite rather large puzzle pieces. Regrettably cameras were not allowed within the museum so this event could not be recorded. Howsomever, there were no such restrictions outside, in the sculpture garden so there are pictures of Expedition members interacting with the  art.
 

Here we have most Expedition members standing in awe of a bronze Whooping Crane Sculpture, whilst, one deviant attempts to entice the cranes with a mating dance

We had arrived before opening hours so could not get inside --- yet! Soooo, in good SKUNK fashion proceeded to the Cemetery, which had been promised  in the pre Expedition promo literature and found lots for sale. Choice lots!! Perhaps with a view or at least away from the septic system???? Also a gross misrepresentation, at least in terms of variety and quality. Whilst there were, in fact many many items for sale the inventory consisted of hunks of various sizes and types of stone, most rectangular, some sculpted. Admittedly, all merchandise was displayed in a very organized fashion, in regular rows, with interspersed roadways so one could shoppe from one's vehicle. Howsomever all seemed top be defaced by graffiti artistes, who, much in the tradition of "Kilroy", scratched out their names in the various surfaces to indicate that they had been there..

Back to LYWAM Sculpture Garden, now open and and emaciated horse. No, the one on the left, not Ruby.

Having received no response from the cranes an Ostrich Dance is attempted. Obviously some have it -- some don't,  the ostrich remains unresponsive.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Should I sit or should I not sit? Wellll as long as I'm here and no one is looking ------. The sign does say to Interact with the art".

Look at me!! I dood it!!! All by myself!!!!

We left Culver's (44.96953 and -89.63492) and proceeded westward on Hiway 29, 17.1 miles to County H, and turned right (North, on H). After 0.5 miles we passed Pine Lane on the left and continued North on H. Proceeding an additional 1.5 miles north on H, as we did we passed through the intersection of H and Spruce Lane. 1.6 miles further north on H found us at Cherry Lane and once again we proceeded northward, through the intersection for 0.5 miles where we turned Westward on Lovers Lane. Traveling westward on the snow covered, gravel road of Lovers Lane we covered 2.0 miles to Meridian Road upon which we turned left (South), 0.1 mile and turned East, into a parking area, where after slowly driving 43 feet we stopped and as Admiral Perry did upon reaching the North Pole, took pictures to verify our achievement and preserve records of this momentous event for SKUNK posterity.

Here we see the graven marker itself with the toes of the four brave explores pointing to the spot, whilst other anatomical parts are directed elsewhere.
