Eric, I haven't mentioned lately how much I enjoy your arboreal photos; such a great backdrop for your impressive collection of hats. :eusa_clap
A-n-A, that's a portfolio quality shot.

I haven't worn this one in a loooooooong time, but today felt like a burgundy day. Though this is a stock photo from when the hat was new. A Buckaroo Hatters shelf hat that I picked up along with the Moorelite fedora.
...Ya know, this color scheme is givin' me ideas for a fedora...

I know what you mean, Ps. Most Cavanaghs that I come across seem to have 2 inches or less brim.
Thanks, AnA. I have a few green hats and always enjoy wearing them.
Splinter, nice Stetson you have there.
Alexander - a Burgundy day can only be good!

Weekend Wanderlust
After picking Ryan up from school Friday afternoon, we made the idyllic drive from Minnesota to the Driftless Area of Wisconsin for the annual National Fishing Lure Collectors Club Fishing Tackle Show. It was near dusk as we pulled up to the Ho-Chunk Casino in Baraboo.
Delaying supper until we had completed our preliminary round of room-to-room action, where Ryan sought early, pre-depression-era wooden lures, we were famished. Lydia's research led us to a little family-run restaurant on the very edge of the hamlet of Baraboo, Wisconsin, former headquarters and Winter home of the Ringling Brothers Circus. OPTIMO Natural Beaver Belly.
Autumn still-life. I found the dimly lit road and highway sign in the background to be particularly haunting. The food was uncommonly good: Fresh-squeezed juices, hot-out-of-the-oven pumpkin bread; scratch-made clam chowder; hand-cut hash browns and American fries; overnight, slow-roasted pork; hot-apple pie and cold pumpkin cheesecake, and...and.....made for an unforgettable meal.
Club members gathered in the main ballroom early Saturday morning for the show. Ryan bagged a pair of spectacular, Pre-Depression-era Heddon Bar Perch Underwater Minnows. Dobbs Heather-Finish, Late '20s-early '30s, perhaps my favorite vintage lid.
Lydia and I were thrilled to find a stash of original copper-plates used in the intaglio printing of the fly fishing tackle catalogs of the Weber Lifelike Fly Co., at one time one of the largest fly and fly-tackle makers in America. Here, seen next to Weber's 1936 catalog, one of several plates used to print its cover.
Friday evening's supper was so good we unanimously agreed to return for brunch the next day. Next time your travels take you anywhere near the Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo, be sure to stop by the Log Cabin Restaurant. It is well worth the detour.
Low clouds and a much-needed, steady rain covered the landscape on Saturday. An impromptu stop at a small Wisconsin town on our way back to Minnesota found us admiring this beautiful Egyptian-Revival-Richardsonian Romanesque building. Formerly a Masonic Temple, it has been home the past thirty years to a fascinating old-school antiques store-cabinet of curiosities.
Not a single hat to be found, we nevertheless lost ourselves in rapt conversation with the store's proprietor and delighting in his bewildering and enchanting displays. This is the main floor of three in this towering yet strangely familiar and welcoming space. I felt as if I had been here before in my distant memory.
Attempting identification of an ancient tuna skin-mount. OPTIMO Natural Beaver Belly.

With our love of St. Paul and its significant and intriguing gangster history, Lydia booked a Gangster Tour some months back and we found ourselves at the trolley on a cool Sunday morning.
My Heather Dobbs, once again.
Passing by one of our favorite stomping grounds: The Landmark Center, scene of many trials of notorious gangsters and their accomplices to include John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Machine *** Kelly.
Looking down into the wooded ravine known as Swede Hollow, from the bluffs above, site of the Theodore Hamm Mansion. The kidnapping of William Hamm, Jr. in 1933 marked the first time the FBI used solid forensic evidence, in the form of silver nitrate fingerprints, to solve a major case.
The Lincoln Court Apartments on S. Lexington Parkway, scene of the shootout between the Law and John Dillinger and his girlfriend Evelyn "Billie" Frechette on March 31, 1934.
On our own again following the tour, we headed immediately for one of our favorite restaurants on Grand Avenue, St. Paul, just blocks from where Dillinger and Frechette were holed up in early 1934.
Many local residents remember stories their parents told, of encounters with Dillinger and Frechette, who loved to catch movies at the Uptown Theater on Grand Avenue, now a Blockbusters Video. The couple were frequently seen to patronize the bakeries and eateries that line the boulevard.
Remembering Dillinger's penchant for sitting on the aisle, I took my seat at the Ordway Center For The Performing Arts Sunday evening, for the final performance of "Billy Elliot ".
An enjoyable conclusion to a nostalgic and memorable weekend.
