If you need a mental picture of Wisconsin. That is the picture.
I walked up to see the thing that made them make this a state park:
Years ago, they excavated this area at the base of the bridge and found evidence that human beings found shelter here 12,000 years ago:
People carved off a slice of mastodon to gnaw, right here, once, long ago.
Slide show.

One thing I love about living in madison is I can drive 15 minutes and be in the middle of downtown, or I can drive 15 minutes in the other direction and be in (by comparison) the middle of farm country or a forest.
Of course, that's excluding this damned fourth of july traffic.
That first picture really is essence of Wisconsin (I'm from Chicago and we visited friends' summer places in Wisconsin quite a lot). And the detail of the photo is so fine . . . what kind of digital camera do you have??
Amba: Thanks. The camera is a Sony DSC-V1. IIf you click on a Flickr photo, you'll get to the Flickr page, where you can see -- in fine print -- what camera was used. You can also get to a larger version of the photo.
Twelve thousand years ago somebody ate Mastodon meat there; in the 20th C a slew of morons with penknives did their own rock art.
Natural Bridge is still lovely.
