Last summer we enjoyed an adventure at Paradise Springs in the Southern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest Click here to read about our adventure of 2014
Crystal clear water! That is water you are looking at in this photo. It was so clear it was amazing.
This past week my cousin and aunt shared the news.
Dam fails at Paradise Springs
I am sharing the photos from the newspaper clippings my aunt sent me.
We all are thankful we had the opportunity to visit last summer. It is a beautiful area of Wisconsin and full of history. It think it would still be worth stopping in to see the old buildings and the clear waters.
That is so sad! You were lucky to see it last year. What a shame. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh no, that is so horrible! Things like that make me so sad...because there is nothing we can do to prevent it from happening! I'm so glad you have photos of how it was.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many beautiful parks in Wi to see. Thanks for telling us about this one.
ReplyDeleteThat water was amazing. I guess nature will always have its way, huh? Hopefully, the waters will be clear again and the dam repaired.
ReplyDeleteSo sad to hear about the dam failing. We had a dam fail here in Michigan and I never even knew we had any in our state. Glad you were able to visit before it was ruined. Janice
ReplyDeleteSo sad to have had this happened. I'm glad that you saw it in it's pristine condition.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hugs,

That is terrible. I was planning on going when I read the first ppart of your post! Maybe we still will as it still looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, but shame about the dam failing...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to see that before it happened - and that you got some fantastic pictures too!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! That water is so pure...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteShame, shame about the dam failing though.
All the best Jan

Oh no, Carla, it looks like it's collapsing. That's too bad. What a pretty building. I hate to see old buildings fall down, they have so much history. Maybe you can go back and visit Paradise Springs again. You will always have your memories of time spent there with your family.

glad you got to visit before the destruction. It looked very pretty
ReplyDeleteSuch a dramatic change - thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteWow....did it flood a large area downstream? Scary.
ReplyDeleteOh how sad. I googled to see the location, and found this http://saveparadisesprings.com/
ReplyDeleteThis is sad. And I suppose more personal for you as you've visited and have family nearby.
