La Crosse, WI, USA - 30th January 2009

By: Luv_Lioness

We went out despite the chilly temperature today (single digits above 0*F). I found out what the are she lives in is called and posed for a picture in a pretty setting of a coulee.

What the sign says:
“The Coulee Region”
Coulee is a term derived from the French verb “couler” meaning to flow. The area before you and the entire coulee region of west central Wisconsin has been dissected by water erosion into a series of narrow ridges separated by steep-sided valleys called coulees. Fertile soils are farmed on the bottom and sides of coulees. The narrow ridges, often protected by woodlands, are capped by erosion resistant dolomite bedrock which commonly overlies sandstone. During formation of the coulees, erosion cut through the dolomite and removed the underlying weaker sandstone thereby creating the valleys. To the north and south of this marker you can view several coulees and intervening ridges and note that State Highway 33 is situated on one of the dolomite-capped ridges. The Wisconsin novelist Hamlin Garland, was a native of this area and wrote about pioneer life in the coulee region.

Then a picture of me playing in the snow!  :p
