1.Are there any back roads that lead to something interesting?

The river road that I took to Humbolt, I found, actually continues to the point at which I concluded my Drift One walk. For Drift Two, I will follow the road there and start my drift two walk where I ended my drift one walk.

2. Is there a house that has a very unique and interesting architecture?
There is a new housing complex along the river that is relatively unique in architecture. They all follow an abstract rectangular design which comes off as quite modern. I would estimate that this housing complex house upwards of five hundred residents.

3. Are there any places where sound takes on a strange quality?

Along the River, sound takes on a strange quality in that the sound of flowing water backgrounds any sound that is recorded. In most cases I’ve found, it adds to the quality of the recording.

4. Where can I find the strangest sight within my Drift area?

At night time underneath the Holton Bridge, a hidden projector projects a green visualizer on the wall of the bridge. Its hard to explain the qualities of the visualizer except that it is mildly psychedelic.

5. What differences are there on Lake Michigan between night and day?
Depending on where the moon is at and how full it is, at night it casts a reflection across the lake. Also during the night you lose the sense of immensity the lake has during the day because you can only see so far into the darkness.

6. Are there any places where one can make a complete 180 degree turn and only see nature?
The one spot that I can think of in which you can witness only nature would be by the lake.

7. Are there any buildings that will give me access to a high and panoramic view?
I don’t know about buildings, but there is a park over by Riverwest that has a great panoramic view of Milwaukee’s skyline.

8. Is there some kind of elaborate garden in the area?
The closest thing to an elaborate garden would be the park over by Riverwest. It is well maintained and a nice spot for experiencing nature.

9. Are there any kind of monuments in the area?
I didn’t notice any monuments, but I’m sure there will be some for me to find while doing my Drift Two walk.

10. Are there any bodies of water (other than Lake Michigan) in the area?
The Milwaukee River is a body of water which I followed during my Drift One experience.
