Used to stop at the Dam View in Alma - $.25 Shorties. Sort of like wandering back into the 1940s.

Now I gotta find that old B&W pic I've got somewhere of Rosie.

I remember the strangest looking thing hanging above the bar. There was a ring of steel with a steel rod coming off the ring about 18" long that I recall. On the end of the rod were two short pieces welded on back at an angle forming an arrow head.

The older fellas had us boys believing it was used in a contest where you had to sneak up on a buck from behind and run that arrow head end up the buck's rear end, hang on to the ring, and with the free hand commence to whupping up on the buck til it expired. Forgot what the winner got. Anyway, made for good laughs at the bar watching us young guys falling for the story.

My fave NTA was in Marshfield Wi., had a bar at each end of the fairgrounds. We hit em both. Woke early next morning and saw an old timer getting out of his sleeping bag he had pitched on top of a picnic table. We were suitably impressed and went ahead and introduced ourselves to Johnny Thorpe.

Driving through the UP late at night you see a dim light in the middle of nowhere and yep it's a bar.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Buckwheats Resort west of Ojibwa on Hwy 70 is quite the place. There is about 6 barstools, a washing machine in the corner and when your beer is empty they fling the empty can out the window into the can bin. The Foster Bar is a good stop for anyone traveling Hwy 53 or the interstate between Eau Claire and Osseo. Quite a collection of mounted animals, deer, buffalo, elk, bear, African game, even a bobcat and a beaver. Every year there is the Big Coon Contest the first Saturday in November. This year there will hopefully be a coon feed some weekend in December. One of the most unique has got to be The Flambeau Forest Inn east of Winter on W. There is more deer antlers and mounts of all kinds in there, along with lots of historical photos. I like drinking beer in little out of the way taverns wherever I go but I always like to find the unique and interesting places.

I grew up in SW Wisconsin we had a lot of little bars just like that. One heated the bar with a wood stove right there in the bar miss those days.
