What a coincidence. I was just in Stevens Point. Haha.
Regarding Appleton, you missed the last of the good stuff by a couple years;
Water Street Plant,
Foremost Farms Dairy, Riverside Paper Factory, etc. There are a couple smaller spots left (although, not very interesting.) Few decent spots within a half hour radius.
This is hopefully going to change, though. I've had my eye on a few pieces of gold. We'll see how things turn out.
