Yesterday we drove a few miles to Rhinelander for dinner at The Brick, an old favorite.
Just as some towns have artist-created horses or cows, Rhinelander has The Hodag. You certainly would not want to meet a live one!
In 1893, newspapers reported the discovery of a Hodag in Rhinelander, Wisconsin by prankster, Eugene Shepherd. It had "the head of a frog, the grinning face of a giant elephant, thick short legs set off by huge claws, the back of a dinosaur, and a long tail with spears at the end".
