    HMMMMMMM……… 😕 ❓ ❓ ❓ ❓
    The Hideout and SPider Lake lodge are 2 diffrent places, unless, they are NOT talking about Al Capone’s Hideout.

    I know a better place in WI, well I bet we all do. My favorite though is a B&B in Sturgeon Bay called The Chanticleer Bead and Breakfast. I highly recommend the poolside Grand Suite. Private Sauna and 8 person whirlpool, huge cobblestone fireplace and all the wood you can burn. You even get your own piano, and a king size featherbed.

    No laptops allowed. 😉

      Thanks for posting this. Hmmmmmm, since it looks as if long distance travel is out of the question for our spring break now, maybe this could make for a fun splurge.

      Hopefully this will work….I looked at the general area for caching potential. Nothing right near the lodge, but plenty along the western edge. We didn’t catch a view of any of the elk when we were last in the area, maybe we could get lucky this time!

        We stayed at the White Lace Inn in Sturgeon Bay Christmas of 07. They had resisted getting internet for a long time, but customers were asking for it. I highly recommend this place, too.

        My work with the Humanities Council would pay some overnight lodging expenses if my gig took me more than 75 miles from home for an evening show. I took advantage of that and tried out B & Bs in the area.
        Sadly, that benefit has been removed from the program, but I’ll probably continue that practice. When we’re overnight for caching trips, we usually opt for the usual motel because we want to get out right away, but once or twice, we’ve taken a slower pace and enjoyed the B & B route. One time, the innkeepers knew all about our game, because their niece was wisgooftroop!

        I believe that Pete Maina was just married at Spider Lake Lodge just last week.

        Ummm, when you going? There could be a few more caches that way in the near future. The “Zoma’s Golden Cache” series would be right up you alley. Ask Zuma or K-Spud about it.

        Sorry, but no. He is on John Gillespie’s Waters&Woods quite often and I saw it on the show this past Sunday.

        Ah! All I was going to say is small world. I went to school with Pete’s brother.
