Not much to do there? Any stories about how it got its name? I see there are also neighboring towns named Greece, Riga, Brighton, and Hamlin.
You missed my favorite Pumpkin Hook!! I never did hear about the name when I was a kid. I just thought it was cool. When the fire departments marched in the field day parades they all had t shirts with Egypt Camel Drivers on them.

And there’s an Upsala in Minnesota and another Upsala in Ontario :geek:
There are quite a few recycled town names around where I live now, too. Rome, Mexico, Troy, Syracuse and Utica To name a few. I guess us “New” Yorkers lack imagination. :lmao: I am not surprised to hear that there is an Upsala in Minnesota. I understand there is a large Swede population there.
 
8/26
Our 45 anniversary. We spent a few hours at the Deep Muck Marsh with the spotting scope.

Mine had a dent in the left front fender also. I started with a VW bus but eventually the transmission wore out -- too tough to fix and too expensive to replace -- so I bought the bug without an engine and swapped in the engine from the bus. Those things were so easy to work on.

The bug had been painted brown :rolleyes: with a brush :eek:.

My brother had the van. He called it Weasel.
My brother still drives a green VW bus in Alaska. :)
