McGregor, Pike’s Peak (sic) State Park

This unused “local” postcard takes up more than its share of space.  The first clue that it’s not from Colorado is that the caption mentions the Wisconsin River.  Another anomaly is that the card’s scene is actually Wyalusing State Park in Wisconsin.  Considering that this park and the Colorado mountain were named for the same person (Zebulon Pike), one might think there would be an apostrophe somewhere in the names.  One would be wrong.  As for the card, it’s beginning to show its age but nothing major.  Grade: 1
