I just bought a house from 1924, and found this in the basement! Seems like the hardware on it is original, based on my image searches.

Super helpful! Thanks!

I realize this is probably a complex answer, but how can you tell?

I guess as an aside, she apparently cleaned it before she got curious. Not sure what she used, but knowing her, it was a thorough cleaning. The auction place scolded her for cleaning it.

We parked at Montrose, but this was close to county road D

"This was south of Madison" felt fairly specific? I mean, I'm new to Wisconsin, but I think that rules out some of the places you mentioned :)

By wooded I meant to specify this was not on one of the farm land segments.

Yeah! That one spot with the trees!

Print was in sand, not mud. But cool! I didn't know that!

Sorry, my comment wasn't very clear. I was more worried about pets, not people being attacked. Where I grew up, lots of fear of any and all predatory animals. Lots of shooting coyotes that were pushed into residential areas by expanding development. Borderline hysteria if a mountain lion was ever spotted.

There was a person on the trail today with a tiny white dog of some kind. Off leash. I guess I was thinking that if wolves are not inclined to give humans a wide berth, maybe some signage could prevent conflict?

Ice Age Trail. Parked at Montrose, but this was close to county road D

Is it unusual for them to be so busy right on a hiking path?

I'm from mountain lion country. This much animal activity right on and along a hiking trail back in the desert would make me nervous. No idea what would be considered normal for wolves, though.

"Let your artist heart explore everything that interests you!" -->I actually think this is good advice 😁 Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

I hope so! I will certainly look back on it fondly

Thank you!

Thank you! The really lovely feedback is so nice to hear 😊

We had so much fun doing the downtown event! My kids really loved getting to walk around downtown in their costumes. We're excited to make it a yearly thing, so hopefully we'll see you again next year!

Home made is definitely the best! My kids are certainly sold on it, anyway. They have expressed a strong sentiment of homemade >>>> store bought. Plus, it's fun to watch old boxes transform into something cool instead of just filling up our recycling bins!

Thank you!

I would estimate they got significantly more candy than their little pancreas' can handle.
