Tulip and Daffodils are breaking ground.
The woodland flowers are peeking out.
Come on up and check out the woods and lakes.
It is shaping up to be a sunny Memorial Day Weekend

Fish are biting, but the insects have not bothered me yet.

What A difference 361 days makes.
Last year the rope swing was already in use.
This year it is patiently still waiting for the spring thaw so it can the center of attention for the summer.
Plan now for your spring and summer vacation.
Yes the snow will be gone soon. (Don't believe the woodchuck that said spring would be early this year.)

Time to start thinking about wonderful northern Wisconsin spring weekend or mid-week in a cottage or a cozy room in the Inn here in the Eagle River, Vilas County Area.
On the waterfront of the Eagle River chain of 28 lakes between Watersmeet and Yellow Birch lakes. The Inn has cozy knotty pine paneled rooms. The waterfront cottages have kitchens with enclosed porches. Enjoy a day of fishing for Muskies, Walleye, Bass or pan fish in one of the over 1000 lakes, Trout in one of the many clear streams or look for Ruff Grouse, Deer, Bear or any of the other animals. We are encompassed by Chequamegon- Nicolet National Forest, Northern Highland American Legion Sate Forest and Vilas County Forest that have bike and hiking trails for all levels of experience. Only one mile west of downtown Eagle River as other activities and dining are a quick walk or drive. For those of you that need the outside connections we have cable TV and Wireless Internet Connections or better yet just sit near the water's edge and relax.
