Bubbler

On the way up to the UP a few weeks ago we stopped at a rest stop to eat some breakfast. I noticed this Wisconsin 'bubbler' and had to take a picture! Notice the large handle. The kids had to pump and pump with that to get the water working. lol

Great shot pk and it should be saved for the gallery under bubblers in and out of Wisconsin.
That is the type that is used at Boulder Lake, Nicolet National forest. By the time you get water out for cooling yourself down you pass out from heat exhaustion and dehydration!!!!!

hahahahahaha

Bravo, pk!

Hopefully this will represent the old theBubbler compared to the new one.

Bubbler T-shirt (grey) - Gift Ideas - Wisconsin Historical Society Online Store

This T-shirt was inspired by the unique name Wisconsinites use for the machine that dispenses water in public places. It is the second in the "Real Wisconsin" series of shirts

Great stuff.. they actually have similar "bubblers" in a park in Rochester, NY!

Hehe, we had a hand pump in the kitchen of our old farm house when I was growing up as a kid.. we had running water too, but the hand pump brought up water from the well.

Great pic you added, too, pk!

Always liked this post about bubblers. Hope some of the newer members take a peek at this forum topic.
