From Glaciers to Mammoths

Did you ever wonder what you would do if you found a mammoth under your back yard. Well that's just what happens to the Flom family when they found that the glaciers had buried a mammoth left under their farm during the last ice age. The Flom family dairy farm was typical for Northern Wisconsin in 1969. It was located near the current day Ice Age Trail that runs through Wisconsin and was responsible for the hills, forests, lakes and swamps that make up this part of the country. To the south of this line is some of the best farm land in the country thanks to the glaciers and to the north the wooded expanse that most people thing about when they hear of Northern Wisconsin. The Flom farm is on this dividing line.
