Actually it was closer to Beecher where we lived. Used to be a store that's gone now right off the highway. Ma n pa liquors.
Lived a quarter mile back behind it.

Lots of them around the cliffs on the Wisconsin Minnesota border. My friends dad worked for dairy land power for 40 years, they found lots if rattlers in those cliffs. Now my friend does the same work in the same area and has personally come across them too.
When I was a kid baling hay on the farm around Barron we would see gardner snakes everywhere, and big ones too, like 3-4' long. Since all the grass hay ground got tilled up, snakes are all but gone there.

We get lots of what we call Pine Snakes some up to 6 feet long, I don't care much for snakes!

I'm about 5 miles from Dairyland Power Plant at Alma. I have lived in this area all my life and know most every one. I'm curious what your friends dad's name was.

Butch Gowin, he lived in Barron, and worked the transmission lines, not the power plant.
