- The area in Southwest Wisconsin is one of the unique wonders in America's heartland. It escaped the glaciers of the last ice age and has spent 1.6 million years shaping itself into one of America's great regions. I spent a day roading through it.

I loved your narration in the beginning. Also, I think the Upper Midwest is one of the most beautiful locations in the USA, and possibly the world.
Thank You. As a kid I always loved this part of the midwest. When making this video I wanted to share some of those thoughts. Thanks for watching!
I would call the driftless area the most beautiful place on earth.
I grew up and still live in this area and it's absolutely incredible. There's nothing like this anywhere else and I couldn't be more grateful to live in such a diverse area. I can't imagine living anywhere else..I've tried, and it just doesn't feel right for me. I've always come back to my wonderful home here. Your video brought me to tears..Thank you for showing others how incredible it is here.
do the locals still have sex in the woods?
@@ihanak8814 Probably lol
Outstanding video. I Moved to Rochester and even just one hour west no one knows about the feeling you have when you are in Western Wisconsin and in the bluffs. Cheers sir and look me up next Oktoberfest in La Crosse.
I'm fortunate to live right in the middle of this area, moved here 13 years ago. I've lived half way around the world ,but this is home to me.
I grew up in Baraboo, Wisconsin. I now live on the Northwest coast of Oregon. Our home overlooks the Columbia River near its mouth and the Pacific Ocean.
Thankfully I am able to occasionally You Tube travel to the driftless area of Southwestern Wisconsin. Videos like yours and those of fly fishermen who fish the rivers and creeks of the driftless area refresh my memories of this incredible area. As a teenager we drove to Ferryville and ice fished in the Mississippi River backwaters. There was a place that used old cars and trucks to take fishermen to fishing areas. They cut the doors and roof off the vehicles so you could escape if the vehicle went through the ice. Thanks for bringing back these memories.
Thanks for your words Kenneth! Hopefully one day I can visit the Pacific Northwest and experience that part of the country. I'm glad my video can give you memories of your time here in Southwest Wisconsin. Thanks for watching!
Great goodness that was a powerful intro! Amazing video production skills. They always tell us to be story tellers and you nailed it man! I'm from Minneapolis but I've moved over to Amery and this area is phenomenally beautiful. This intro was so good, I subscribed to your channel.
Thank You!
I am in New Glarus Wi, just on the border of the driftless area. It is so amazing I love it here and the explorations are endless. Great video amazing story and shots of my backyard.
My family has had a farm in the Driftless area for over 100 years, we have a place we can stay at in the summer with 50 acres. Great video made.. You can see the kid coming out of you when you talk about it.
That's awesome! Those old farms add a lot of character to the area. You're so lucky. Thanks for watching!
I took my first solo motorcycle ride up through that area with Bayfield WI and ferry boat to Madeline Island as my final destination. Back down the same way I went up. Such a gorgeous trip. The weather too perfectly sunny and mild for that 4 day trip.
That sounds like a great ride especially now with the weather. Thanks for watching!
I love this video. I love your narrations, your locations that you chose and your explanation on how the driftless area was formed. I'm from Minneapolis and i know the feeling you are talking about when you're in the driftless area. I watch this video every time I need my driftless area fix. Make more videos like this!
Thank You Gadolinium! I know the feeling about needing to get a Driftless fix. It's an awesome place. I hope to make more videos soon.
I've been up and down The great River Road hundreds of times. The only thing that beats the scenery is the people you meet along the way.
The river rats of the Mississippi are a great bunch of people!
After traveling the freeways to Baraboo from west T.C. area several times, decided to take the LONG way on State Hwy. 33 from the Mississippi River, crossing through The Driftless. What once was just my wondering what those hills I see from the freeway would look like from their country roads. I then went down the rabbit hole of geology that explains it to me. Well done video, I'm happy to see it was a special and happy place for you.
Thanks for the inspiration. I passed through the Driftless while traveling. This video, and memory beckon. I must return and stay for awhile.
Yes you should! Good times await. Thanks for watching. I'm glad I convinced you to come back. :) Have a good day!
I love your video. The Driftless is truly special and you captured the essence of it perfectly.
Thank You Diana!
My roots are from Richland County. I live in Madison, but something of the area always brings me back. Raised in the city but will always be a country boy at heart.
In 2010 I moved to Wisconsin from upstate NY. It is amazing how many connections there are between NY and WI. From geography, culture and Govenors, WI and NY have a history. Back when Wisconsin was a territory, at least one of the Govenors was from NY. Even after 1848, there were several NY born Govenors. One of those Govenors in particular was from Watertown, NY. I think there was also one from Lowville, NY. There are only four places in the world that have the same geological features as the Dells. Upstate New York is one of those places. Not only do WI and NY share European culture, they also share the culture of the Oneida. The Oneida in the Green Bay area originated from upstate NY. There is a Watertown, Utica, Rome, Brookfield and New Berlin in both WI and NY. My paternal grandfather was from the Bronx and my paternal grandmother was from Superior.
I'll be checking out the Driffless Area... Even after 11 years there is a lot of Wisconsin to explore.
P.S. If you get the opportunity to travel to N.Y., skip the city. Go straight to the Adirondacks and rent yourself a cabin by a lake.
I've heard a lot about the Adirondacks. If I ever make it there I would love to see that area. Thanks for watching!
Thx for the video tour of the region. Fascinating stuff and so beautiful
Thanks for watching Terry! Hope you get a chance to visit!
I agree; really good narrative!
I live in Sauk County which is in the driftless area. It is absolutely beautiful! If it weren"t for the nasty winters I would be in heaven.😁 (I grew up in FL.)😕 Loved your vid.
How is the summer there? I've lived in Georgia my whole life, and I'm looking to get away from the heat and humidity. I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about being from Florida. It's odd because it didn't bother me so badly until I reached my 40's. Cold weather doesn't bother me as bad. I can always escape the cold, but the heat is relentless!
Take Care
Although it isn’t a “Wilderness area” it has that back Country feel, a World of its own, and it’s just minutes from Madison
Agree. It definitely feels like it's own world. Thanks for watching!
I think everyone who lives here just drives around and just takes in everything. We farm in the Iowa side of the driftless area and I just love it and don't know why and never want to leave.
Can't agree more. Thanks for watching!
We call it the VALLEY, Sonny....n we are VALLEY BOYZZZZZZZZZZ.......... pick up ur trash when u leave is all we ask........good video bro.
Interesting and well done video with a good explanation of the area. I am from Tennessee and have family in Iowa and Illinois. The driftless area is of special interest to me because when I have been there it is like I am suddenly transported back to Tennessee. It is a really neat place in the midwest. Nice video!
Thanks for watching! Now I need to get to Tennessee
@@JustGoBrandon The eastern part is mountainous, the central and western part are more rolling hills. Those parts of TN look a lot like the Driftless region. I stopped by Galena IL last time I was up that way. Very neat town. Reminded me of Gatlinburg, TN with smaller hills!
Made my 1st drive thru the Driftless today, absolutely amazing. What a Gem. Thanks for letting us know about this place.
Hey @sunny5039 I hope you enjoyed your first visit. It's one of my favorite Wisco places. Thanks for watching!
Omgeeezy... I'm going there next week! Your video blew me away!
You'll have a great time! Summer is awesome there. The bluffs will be lush and green and the prairies will be full of wildflowers. Have a great time. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Fantastic feature of a beautiful region. Even though most of your shots were grey nasty looking days, still great shots. The region is also a world class trout fishery. Thanks for sharing
Thank You. I had planned to go out for fall foliage, but the leaves had already dropped. Thanks for your good words.
JustGoBrandon ah that’s okay still awesome!
Really enjoyed the video. Learned alot . We ride these hills out here and nice to see all the cool landscapes.
I always go west too. From Madison.
Thanks for watching Forrest!
5:57 Illuminati Symbolism🤔
Just kidding. Excellent video Brandon! I live in Georgia and have found myself very interested in this area, although I've never been there. Thank you for creating this video to show off the Driftless Area and it's beauty. New sub here👍
Take care
😎✌️💯
Thanks for watching Big D! Spring and summer are great times to visit. It's a really unique area that is unlike anything else in America's heartland.
You talk/narrate like Andy from the office and I love it lmao
Don't know if you know this , but Sasquatch is a big part of the Driftless area.
Haha. Also trolls, fairies, elves and giants.
The driftless cafe is a nice stop. It's an unusual Cafe with a great menu.
It was a tasty meal. I need to get back when everything settles down again. Thanks for watching!
Great River Road 💕
How the glaciers missed it is kind of a mystery. Well maybe not but it is just amazing they did. It looks like parts of Kentucky.
Hey Steve, I remember reading about this. Geologists believe the great lakes played a big role in re-directing the path of the glaciers. As long as the lakes are there, they should protect this area from future ice ages. We will be dead though. lol.
Thanks for watching!
@@JustGoBrandon I realize that now. Somehow I got back on this topic and appreciate the video.
I'm currently editing a show about the cave of the mounds for my local cable channel, and I was wondering if I could use parts of your video in it. I'd like to use 5-10 seconds of the cows in the field with the hills in the background. It's absolutely perfect.
Go for it! Thank You!
Great video ! Txt for sharing
Thx
good job brandon
I used to swim in the Mississippi River. In Mississippi not in Wisconsin
Whoa! You must be brave. I've heard too many stories of people disappearing after jumping in that river. I'm too chicken. Thanks for watching, though!
They have the EXACT same natural area in southeastern Minnesota. They call it ... 🥁 ... The Driftless area. 🤐
Yes you're right. Iowa and Illinois too. It's all connected. In fact, 85% of the region is in southwestern Wisconsin. Thanks for watching!
@@JustGoBrandon
I trout fished and turkey hunted in beautiful southeastern Minnesota for twenty five years starting in about 1990. 🦃
This is a joke-don’t waste your time going! Catch 6” trout if you are lucky or posted land.The Amish own the place and always have,everything is posted!
This guy has never fished Idaho or Wind River,he is a poser!
The wonders of abstract thoughts and emotions, then making sense of it and connecting the dots. These traits aren't always universally shared by all peoples of the world. Ethnic Peoples of Europe and those of European ancestry are most naturally inclined to this transcending mindset of abstractions and wonder. They are largely unique to that of the Caucasian mind.
I Love the Driftless, but this video was painful to watch.
Sorry the video sucked, but yes, the Driftless is awesome! 😎
Brandon go justly
looks like west virginia or eastern ohio
I'd like to visit West Virginia. Everyone who has says it's beautiful. Thanks for watching!
This is now an unfortunate channel name. ;)
Beautiful area ruined by industrial agriculture.
Thanks for watching. You have a point. I sometimes wonder what it would look like today if less of the land was being used.
