<\/a><\/p>\nGreetings and welcome!<\/p>\n
We have a warm and sunny weekend coming up. There is no chance for rain until Sunday afternoon. Expect clear skies and a hi\/lo of 82\/52. It will be a good weekend for campfires with mild nights and lots of stars, and it will be a good weekend for getting wet.<\/p>\n
We are drying out a little finally. The gravel roads and ATV trails are dusty. There are still some huge puddles on the ATV trails and the ground in sheltered areas is still wet.<\/p>\n
The grass and underbrush are growing like crazy. The grass that I cut 3 days ago is getting a little shaggy in spots. The ferns are about to bust out with big leaves.<\/p>\n
Bugs? Bring Repel. It is summer. Ticks and gators are very active. I saw some mayfly type bugs and the butterflies are back too.<\/p>\n
There have been some bear sightings including one that I spotted on the way to work a couple of days ago. The deer are a little skittish and probably have fawns. I spotted a fox on the way to work this morning. I e-stopped and swerved and missed him. On the way home I saw that he played in the road too long and had a bad ending. I have not seen the turtles up on gravel roads yet but it is that time of year.<\/p>\n
The whitewater rivers have calmed down a lot in the past couple of weeks. They are still a little above normal, making them a good choice for getting wet on a hot weekend. The Peshtigo is about a +6 or +7″ and the Menominee is running between about 2,300 and 3,300cfs, both rivers are at fun levels. Kosir’s started tubing for the summer too.<\/p>\n
As far as events, there is a flea market at the Silver Cliff picnic grounds Saturday, there is an ATV trail ride, meat raffle and pig roast with the Red Arrow Snowmobile & ATV Club in Townsend, and a breakfast on the farm.<\/p>\n
