Citizens of Biron:
Do you realize what a unique piece of property you possess in Highway U?
Where in Wisconsin can you drive for several miles and see the beautiful WI River, natural, untamed, wild, peaceful, beautiful like the first settlers found it?
Where in WI can you stop at the side of the road and observe nature at its finest?
Not only in spring - with its wild flowers and all the nesting birds - ducks, geese, great blue herons, coots and hawks - almost every tree and scrub bush is in full bloom and the swamp with its marsh-marigolds and blue iris-
In fall the maples, sumac, willows and birches all put on a colorful show.
In winter, near an open patch of water, the trees are decorated with a coat of hoary frost.
Did you ever watch the ice break up in early spring? Huge chunks of ice stack up, turning and twisting, moaning and groaning as the rush of water pushes them slowly down stream - taking with them trees from the islands and sometimes depositing a forgotten dock up on the shore.
Did you ever drive up river at 5:30am, put your boat into the quiet water and watch a sunrise? Then drop anchor, put a line in the water and catch a fish? Or watch an iridescent dragonfly rest on the tip of your pole?
A great blue heron's elongated body skims above the water - wings beating slowly, rhythmically--
Peaceful, calm, soothing ripples gently rock the boat - pull up anchor and a cool breeze blows you down stream.
Wisconsin has the "Dells" but have you been there recently? You stand for hours just to get a glimpse of the river and rock formations-(In Biron it's free)
Biron Drive is comparable to the Ocean Drive in California and Skyline Drive in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Please keep our one spot unspoiled, unpopulated, unchanged, for our future generations to enjoy!
Please keep Biron Drive on U just as it is - Don't move the road - let everyone enjoy WI at its best.
