Greetings and welcome!
We have a nice weekend ahead for weather. The forecast is for mid-70s Saturday and upper 70s Sunday. There is a 20% chance of a shower Friday night. Right now it looks like the rain will stay south of Hwy 64 for the most part.
The summer foliage is getting pretty thick in the past week. It is getting hard to see very far into the woods. The ferns in particular are getting big.
The summer season is not lost on the insect world. Last night there were a lot of dragonflies overhead, something that I don’t mind since they eat other bugs. Today a damselfly came to visit me at work, landing very close. I have seen quite a few viceroy butterflies this week. Unfortunately there were some mosquitoes today too. I got nailed a couple of times in the back while I was preoccupied and out came the Repel 40. I guess it is that season too.
The whitewater rafting continues to be a good choice. The river has risen and fallen, but it still has not gone down to normal summer levels. I consider anything above 300cfs to be the fun zone and we are at 425 right now. That probably translates to about a +4″.
The only event that I have for this weekend is the Oconto Co Breakfast On The Farm. Here is a link.
I have not seen any deer fawns yet this year, but it is about that time. Several people in the area have spotted the little ones.
This is also about the time of year that the snapping turtles come up to gravel and sand areas to lay their eggs. I saw one last weekend that was bigger than a dinner plate.
Usually I associate seeing the turtles with good bass fishing on the small lakes. I will have to look into that.
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
