Album Info:Here are some pictures of the east local out of La Crosse, Wisconsin as seen making a westward movement coming back from Sparta. These pictures are taken at County Road "J" in Rockland or about 0.1 miles west of Milwaukee mp 263 on the Amtrak "Empire Builder" route. This album could also perhaps be called, as a friend of mine put it so well--- "Everyday Things"!

still "free"...
Title:  still "free"...
Description:  after stopping at the crossing to let the conductor get off, we can see the American flag at the fire station, thus my question or comment "under freedom's flag"?! Often times, the local will stop on the east end of the siding for lunch here "in small town America"--- where one day we stopped for gas and there was a Harley and a John Deer tractor filling up! Or maybe they had only stopped for a burger and fries! Remember to take the time to stop and to enjoy the simple "everyday things" while they and/ or we are still here and still "free" and able to do so! For come tomorrow, they or we might no longer be here!
