Ocooch Mountain

Ocooch Mountain Ocooch Mountain is music, land, culture and adventure. "Ocooch Mountain" first appeared on maps in the early 1800s.

Ocooch Mountains are a centuries old name for the unglaciated, Driftless territory of southwest Wisconsin, northeast Iowa, northwest Illinois and southeast Minnesota. "Ocooch" was a transliteration by English speakers from likely Winnebago and/or Ioway Native Americans who speak Siouan. "Ocooch" has been connected to a word Hoguc, pronounced Ho-gooch. Hoguc being a name for Baraboo or Baraboo Rive

r, on the western edge of the Driftless region. There are also sources that connect the word "Ocooch" to the Ioway, whose language has many similarities to Winnebago Ho-Chunk. The Ioway reference refers to Ocooch Mountains as Snowy-Lodge Mountains, Paxoje or an area of rugged beauty. The area is now commonly known as the Driftless Region and is home to hundreds of small farms, artists, and musicians.

Been in a bit of a blue space lately, old man birthday and so much dark s**t in the world. Really thankful for songwriters. Caught some beautiful stories and songs from jerrika mighelle, savannah smith, and the arlen boys with simon cropp this weekend. Bless them all for their sincerity and their humor and their courage to be vulnerable and share. I woke up in the middle of the night with a poem in me and it’s thanks to all of them.

The root
that cut the throat
of the red red forest
is what gave me wheels.

It’s what made the sad days
let go of their similes.
Let go of their need
to clutter up
a space made clean.

Now the dark sits empty
waiting for your sweet, round face
to come smiling like a sunbeam
through the trees.
