We are fortunate enough to have a place in the Northwoods that we had to stretch to buy in'97. (It took two incomes) We had been vacationing there since we got married in '89 with best friends at their cabin that their family bought in '78. Found a 5-acre parcel with 250' frontage on a 100-acre...

Sad to see it. Was always a good place to stop on the snowmobiles or hang out in summer to listen to music.

Unbelievable Indy!

Squat at my cabin and they will get the pleasure of a Rottweiler with a short fuse and an attitude problem and an armed owner who has not had his distemper shots in many years.

Retreat Bar, Presque Isle, WI.

Been doing it all season, except it has been a consistent BAD dream.

Walked down to the lake yesterday after I posted and saw where cracks and movement had occurred and blew out the ice along some big boulders and a downed log that was in the water along shore. Surface ice was pretty much honeycombed, and I think that maybe it was so loud is because there is no...

Yesterday, late afternoon, early evening, I was out on the deck prepping the grill for a bbq. I heard what sounded like thunder in the distance. I went out towards the lake side of the deck and heard what sounded like an underwater explosion. Scared the hell out of me as after the eruption, I...

So sad to hear this. Realized recently that we have not had to discuss fatalities this season and hoped that would continue.

Just looked at 10 day forecast on my phone trying to determine if we stay in the Northwoods for a while or head back to Chicago. Driveway in Presque Isle getting near mud and by Tuesday the 27th, its 56 degrees. Park Ridge IL. showing 70 degrees on the 27th. As much as I dislike the city, maybe...

About 4" in Presque Isle and snowing lightly at 8am on 2/16.

Lou Malnatis in the Chicago area.

Thanks for scaring me garageguy. :mad:

Abe, the surgeon shocked me when he told me 3-6 months for rehab. That sounds extreme. I'll be 60 next week and I'm not going to physical therapy 3 times a week for months. Living in two states on and off for the year isn't conducive to appointments. I had total knee replacement 3 years ago...

Heading up Friday for a few weeks to enjoy the early mud season....not. I think RP#3 is due the 14th of April. I know you have a Florida trip coming but let's grab a beer next week before you go and complain about the season that wasn't.

I gave up on a season that looks like it just won't happen. Looked at the rest of February and March forecast for Northern Wisconsin and see snow is just about gone and swamps are turning to slush in Presque Isle. I have nursed a torn right rotator cuff and bicep along with a bone spur tearing...

I heard limits were being discussed in Gogebic and Iron Counties last week. Speculation was February 1st or shortly thereafter. I ordered LP (in Vilas County) even though I was still around 50% and Ritchie Oil makes noise about having to be at least 40%, I don't want to run short and then have...

Looks great Paul. Like Mezz said, I'm jealous. Is the floor just the concrete from the pour or did you do something to it? Looks nice.

Glad you were able to get out and ride. Still in a waiting period here in Northern Wisconsin. Near 40 here yesterday in Presque Isle. All of the snow has slid off of my metal roofs and trails are starting to show mud. Middle of my lake/ice is starting to go dark today as snow is gone.

Don't know where you are headed lotsfire but I drove through Marenisco and jumped on US 2 headed towards Watersmeet yesterday and did not see one sled on the trails. Trail 2 was very thin with weeds and rocks showing. Stopped in Land O Lakes Recreation to buy the wife boots and pick up oil and...
