Welcome to the Kickapoo Valley Reserve:
A Unique Project from All Vantage Points
The Kickapoo Valley Reserve is an 8,569 acre tract of land located between the villages of La Farge and Ontario in southwestern Wisconsin. Its history, resources, administration, and recreational diversity make it unique - a place like no other.
We invite you to come see for yourself the many wonders of the Kickapoo Valley Reserve. Here sandstone outcroppings tower over the Kickapoo River as you paddle its quiet waters, and native plants and animals abound in all seasons. Whether you'd like to join us for a scheduled interpretive hike, adventure into the back country on your own, or simply stop and admire the beauty, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve welcomes you!

Welcome to Driftless, a site that morphed out of the Driftless Writers Blog. The site still serves as a forum for folks who love the creativity and challenge of using the language in written form.
It doesn't matter whether you are a student, hobby writer or a pro -- or whether you write prose or poems -- you can post your work here. Just use the Driftless Writes Blog Message Board below.
You won't be paid for your writing. Any obscene or libelous/slanderous posts will be removed by the publisher. But, if you can live with those rules, you can use this as a forum to see your work in "print" in cyberspace.
Driftless also is the home for The Driftless Area Creative Maps Project, an attempt by this writer/photographer -- Gregg Hoffmann -- to document one of the unique areas of the world in words and images.
Over the next few years, I plan on writing about the people, places and things that make the Driftless area unique. Some of the stories I have done already are on the Message Board.
The Driftless Area is a relative well-kept secret in the southwest corner of Wisconsin, southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa and northwest Illinois. Its karst geology makes it unique, gives it beauty and also makes it an environmentally fragile area.
We'll document that as well as the characters who inhabit the area and some of the communities and places that give it further identity.
You also can give us your opinion, or write about your favorite place or person too by using the Driftless Writers Blog message board below.
