    I'm not sure what the main water source is in the region. I could find out by looking online on the city's page. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Walk Instead
    Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Does this statistic describe your own transportation habits? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?

    I do not feel like this applies to me. In my hometown I live 8+ miles away from the main part of town so I have to drive, and in La Crosse I have walked just about everywhere.
