There's actually a collapsed cave along the shoreline of Lake Mendota on that land. It was said to have been a hiding place for Black Hawk and others.   My dad used to drive the boat up to the small opening that still is visible today.  Oh the stories he'd conjure up and scare us with, telling us that "Indians may still be hiding in it and might come out any second". <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" />[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.change.org/p/tony-evers-convince-blackhawk-country-club-to-change-its-name[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Image/IM92490[/URL]</blockquote>
