Greetings and welcome!
I have a few updates and yesterday’s post is below.
First they are having a flea market and live music at the Firelane Bar Saturdays starting this weekend. The flea markets start at 10am and the live music is from 2-6. They have some pretty good bands lined up.
There is also a flea market/vendor’s market at the Crivitz Museum on Saturday. The museum is a block west of McDonalds across from the high school. This is a big fundraiser for the museum.
I saw a few post where deer fawns are being born. Keep your eyes peeled for the new little ones!!
Wednesday’s Update-
Greetings and welcome!
We had a big storm roll through here last night. There were weird clouds, torrential rains, gusty winds and a lot of lightning. The power even went out for almost 40,000 people including many around here. There was no damage that I saw other than some stuff blowing around.
One thing that it did do was bring a lot of rain. Radar estimates are between 1.5-2+ inches. Trails will not be dusty this weekend.
The whitewater rafting will be outstanding this weekend. The Peshtigo River already shot up to about a +12”, an exceptional level for Memorial Day weekend. I would expect it to be over +16 for the weekend, possibly even into the high teens.
The great greening of the land is almost complete. You can’t see into the understory of the woods anymore, and most trees have a pretty full crown. The grass definitely needs cutting. Some of my taller areas have already gone to seed.
The greening of the trees is not lost on the gypsy moths. The tiny caterpillars are everywhere. It is going to be a really bad year for them if you don’t take action.
We have a couple of events this weekend. There is a brat stand at the Super Valu store and the Polaris dealer in Lakewood Saturday afternoon benefiting veterans. There is live music at The Rustic Saturday night. Sunday there is a memorial service and family picnic at the Silver Cliff picnic grounds.
Both Northwoods Bar and the Caldron Falls Bar open today with new owners. The golf course in Lakewood across the street from McCaslin golf course looks like it is more of a mini-golf course than a pitch and putt as I called it in my last update. That should be fun for a lot of people.
The weather for the weekend looks hit and miss. There is rain coming for Friday afternoon and evening, a nice day Saturday, and then rain is possible again Sunday night into Monday. Generally it looks like a pretty nice weekend overall.
That’s it from here. I am off to see if the lawn mower will start.
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
