Lighting the Way

In the entrance way of The Golden Mast restaurant on Okauchee Lake, a pair of these huge lanterns grace the brick walls on either side of the door.

Patriots Only

Talk about rough and ready. The Magnus Anderson American Legion Hall in Okauchee is protected with a missile - complete with launcher(!) - out front.

Welcome to our Inn

My final installment of The Golden Mast series is their little Bavarian-style inn. The mural painted on the outside wall offers a welcome to visitors.

SkyWatch Friday: Chimney at The Golden Mast

The giant stone and stucco chimney at The Golden Mast restaurant (as seen in a few of my previous posts.) Nice blue sky on a clear, sunny day! The view of the whole building below shows the large picture window that overlooks Okauchee Lake.

Courtyard of the Golden Mast

This unusual sculpture of tumbling children is one of the features of the outdoor tiled courtyard at The Golden Mast restaurant mentioned in the previous post (9/29/09.) Features include a fountain, a private bar, and the far wall also houses a stained glass window visible from the inside chapel, which was not accessible on this day. An inviting place to take a break on a cool, sunny afternoon.

The Golden Mast

Just west of Pewaukee, on Okauchee Lake, is a little Bavarian restaurant retreat called The Golden Mast. The Weissgerber family owns this and several other very popular area restaurants which offer standard dinner fare, unique surroundings and the ubiquitous Friday Fish Fry. The Golden Mast is a popular spot for weddings and other special occasions. It has a separate little old-world style inn and a boat landing and outdoor patio for those sunny afternoons. The entrance offers this interesting, larger than life mosaic of a sailboat - presumably with a "golden mast"! I'll be posting several other related photos over the next few days.
