Greetings and welcome!
I had another crazy busy week but I am not going to miss a second update. My apologies about missing last week.
Anyway.. It is a lot like summer around here. There were a lot of people around last week and it is only a little quieter this week. It is great to see people out enjoying the nice hot weather.
The critters are active. I have seen a lot of deer fawns and Momma deer too. Yesterday on the road I also saw two foxes, a couple of fawns, a skunk, and what looked like a mink or a weasel. The deer have been running into the roads on occasion, someone suggested that the bugs were responsible. I could see that.. when I was working in the woods this week the gnats and mosquitoes were ample.
We have a nice weekend coming up with Saturday close to 90 and sunny and Sunday a few degrees cooler. The only chances for rain are this afternoon and later Sunday afternoon.
When it is hot is it time to call Kosirs. They have lazy river tubing for $5 (cheap!). The river was getting a little low for it this week but yesterday’s thunderstorms put us right back into the fun zone. There is also whitewater rafting, and the Menominee River would be a good pick for that.
We have some events coming up this weekend with the big two being the Athelstane VFD Picnic and the Lakewood Mardi Gras.
Next weekend is the Hog Wrestling at the Caldron Falls Bar, and Steve is back running it. Yes they are open.
Here are some more events that I found in my travels this week.
One last item.. I saw in the paper that the storm that hit up by Parkway and Hwy X two weeks ago also hit Crooked Lake pretty hard. The article said that they had a lot of trees down. While people spotted funnel clouds the experts said no it was not a tornado, it was straight line winds. Does it really matter?
Summer is going fast get out there and have some fun before it is gone.
Have a great weekend and thank you for visiting!
