Luck Strum Knapp Thorp El Paso
Cornucopia
I'll be up at the Great Lake Superior this weekend. I'll drive right through Cornucopia and pass near Luck. Yes, there is an El Paso, WI and it's not too far from Spadoville. We visit Thorp every year for the Pumpkin Festival in October, and I pass through Strum on my way to Chicago. Knapp? Well, I've been there, but not lately. It's not too far from where I live, between River Falls and Menomonie on US Highway 12.
I like the way the names fit in Haiku, and it does my heart good to be back on the road a little.
Peace to all

A Cornucopia of strange names.
I bet we have a few here too although now they sound pretty normal to us.
Hope you are still on the upswing.
I like your picture and your haiku
There are many unusual or noteworthy names of places in Quebec. The one that sprang to mind was St.Louis-du-Ha-Ha. (Pronounced Louie). Been through but never spent time there ! Must be a hoot to have that in your address !
Happy and peaceful trails, Man !

Oh, how can you NOT love that lakeside photo--it's just gorgeous with the peeking sun. *sigh* I need some lake time!
And yep, we've got some strange ones around here, too. I'm rather fond of Delhi, which is pronounced Dell-High, for the record.....which in and of itself is silly.....LOL
It does my heart good to hear you are on the road and haiku-ing about your journey!
Love to you,
Ms Foxy

Enjoy your trip Joe! And yes, the towns do sound like a poem... I hope you sing them when you pass through the streets!
I like they way they roll off the tongue too.
HAppy traveling!

I was delighted to learn that you were back on the road right now! Have fun in your beautifully-sounding towns!
Hi Joe :)
Magic how you got the names to fit perfectly...and...
what you wrote after sounds like a song. I shall dub you Mr. Lyrical.
