Greetings and welcome!
We have a nice weekend coming up and a lot to talk about.
The weekend ahead is expected to have mostly clear weather and mid-80s for high temperatures. My first thought is that it will be a good campfire weekend. With partly cloudy skies and low temperatures around 60 it should be very comfortable.
Warm weather will also drive us to the water. With our recent rain the whitewater rafting is highly recommended. Both the Peshtigo and Menominee Rivers are at very fun levels. For those not into the thrill, it will make tubing better too. Not only is the water higher, but the river is warming up from the rain.
That same high water will make a waterfall tour a good call this weekend.
The Muscle Maniacs will have a nice weekend for their car show in Lakewood this weekend. There will be some top notch cars there, check it out if it is in your travels.
In nature this week the raspberries continue to bloom, though not quite as much as last week. Also making a strong showing this week were patches of white daisies along the roadsides. I have seen pretty many snapping turtles up on the roads as they seek a sandy spot to lay eggs. I went to take pictures of one Sunday, and it wasn’t a snapper at all.
I took the boat out on Caldron for an hour Sunday afternoon. It needed a shakedown run and I learned about plenty to fix. It was mostly about the boat so I only fished for about 10 minutes. and don’t have any fish to show off. Not yet.
Speaking of going out on Caldron Falls, Kosir’s Rafting has a sweet pontoon boat that they take people out on. It can hold 13, and it is something like $20 to go. I was on one ride, and it was great. Check it out.
For now, have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
