RIP John. Never met him, but he will be missed by many. Hope the site continues. Great resource for people of the Northwoods and UP.

I have my iphone and US Mobile service set up. How is reception in the northwoods with US Mobile service? Anybody use this carrier up north? I am back in Illinois.

Getting ready for winter and noticed a house on my lake I believe has a compressor with tubing around the dock for a deicer. The tubing can be left in year round, according to the website. Can one say start the compressor in March when the lake is frozen? Or does it have to start running in...

In pic 1 of 4, from the set of Monday at 5:15pm, I see some trees and some boulders(?) blocking the neighbor. What kind of trees are those? Are those boulders?

Went to ERA for first time in Minocqua. Had chicken alfredo, and it came with a salad. Was tasty and bill was $20. All meals and salads come in these unique bowls that face you with a large opening towards you.

Ok I just called US Mobile, and I can get a used iphone and have to verify the IMEI (* # 06 # ) number works with US mobile, and they can set up service for a month for only 8$ going forward on my credit card. That is a good deal. The rate stays constant over time.......

I did not know you can still call 911 on a dead phone. But how do you test that it works?? I dont want to make a test 911 call if possible... That is really the only reason I would use the trac phone.....My trac phone is able to dial, but call does not connect for some reason anymore...

I am just looking to make calls in case of emergency while driving, or on boat, or sled, But a trac phone minutes expire like in 30 days etc, want something year round available if i need to make a call in emergency,

Do not have a family, but brother has US Cellular. Can i get a cheap used iphone off ebay for $200 and piggyback on his plan? He does not know he said. The phone is unlocked on Ebay. Iphone 8 used for $200.

I am looking to get a phone that I would only use in emergency, like on a boat or snowmobile. Any suggestions? Or a plan that charges only if I am not on wifi.... I use my chromebook and a google number for all other phone calls.

Went to Pea Patch in MW last Friday. Fish fry was tasty, place not crowded.

I always tell people who are thinking about buying property up north, "the more you plan to use it and be up north, the more you should think about buying". Just like the rule of thumb for buying vs renting any house. Rent if it is short term, buy if it is long term. I have paid $100k in...

Even though I own a place on a lake, I know I would still enjoy a house/cabin that was not on a lake. Simply trailer to a lake once or twice a week. You will not get the price appreciation on a lake house, but I do not think you will lose money,and you still will enjoy the Northwoods as much as...

What is price for Black Oak Inn? Sounds like Land O Lakes has good fish places.

Was lucky to afford my vacation property (cottage) on Minocqua chain in 1994 at age 27 for $140k. People thought I was crazy as it was just a cottage. Built a home on it and approaching one million right now. Almost as good as my investment in Apple! Nothing like being out on your boat and...

It is an added on heating pad put under seat with a control switch. Used to work fine in early years, but have not used in much in past 5 years.

It seems to be working normal again. Middle position is off and no light. Upper position is high heat (red). Lower position is low heat (green). How does one disconnect this switch? I dont use the heater at all. Can one just snip the wires that go to the switch?

Sometime there will be light on for all 3 positions. Sometimes no lights at all. I think the middle position is "off". Push up for high. Push it down for low, This is like a boat switch, like high fan, up, middle is off, low fan is down. That is what I orignally thought the settings were and...

I just checked it again in garage, if i move switch all the way down, no light at all . If I move it to middle position, light red light, if I move it all the way up, bright red light.....Maybe I am wrong in thinking the middle switch is "off".

Attached is a guage my mechanic installed on my skidoo 12 years ago for a heater we put under my seat. The guage has 3 settings. I know for a fact the top setting is max heat. I always thought the middle switch was for "off", and the lower switch being "low heat". In my garage now, I...
