The Deer are Hungry!

These deer were not fazed by us at all as we stopped along Hwy 70 to take their picture! It’s that time of the year we start seeing them all over the sides of the roads.

Bad Bones BBQ

We have a new business in town called BAD BONES BBQ!  They cook outside in a wood cooker and serve pulled pork sandwiches either inside or outside on picnic tables.  We tried it for the first time after one of our customers raved about it.  They were right it is delicious! It is down town Minocqua, one block west of Pole Cat & Lace.  The smells outside make you want to stop and it is worth it!

Music! Music! Music!

One of our customers last week had her brother come stay for a few days and he brought his accordion with him.  He would sit around the resort and play all day, and it was such wonderful background music for all we did.  Wish he was here all summer!!! Thanks so much for the great entertainment!

New Skipper on the Pontoon!

We had a new family in this week all the way from Virginia! Today was the day for pontoon boat rides and Dick let Loren drive the boat for the last stretch and she did a great job, even docked the boat! Here she is also with her sister Devon, hope you all have a safe trip all the way back to Virginia this weekend. We had a great time together!

Pileated Woodpecker

We went for a ride the other day and took some off roads into the woods just to see where they went.  As we were riding down one of the side roads we saw this huge Pileated Woodpecker on an old stump.  It kept moving down so I didn’t get a good picture of all of it but look close and you can see it.

Nicole’s Birthday

Nicole is up here every year for her birthday. Her mom is a cake decorator so she makes a very special cake for her here every year. This year she made one with a cat on top. It took 4 cake mixes and 12 eggs!  And it was delicious.  Happy Birthday Nicole!
