Thanks for the update Becky.

I need to start my shopping.

One of my travel bugs has been floating around Germany.  Thank goodness for google translator.

We just got back from spending a week at Star Lake. My wife goes out early every morning for a long walk…this week it was the remote roads near the lake…one morning she had a black bear cross the road ahead of her…this morning she one-upped that by seeing a mountain lion that stopped in the road briefly to stare at her. Glad it wasn’t hungry.

Had a family reunion of sorts in Tomah.  Then I found a couple caches in West Sandland based on suggestions from sandlanders.  On the way home I spotted jar42.  Also some interesting wildlife from a distance, but nothing like a bear or a mountain lion.

Congrats to JimandLinda on another grandson!  I’m also glad to hear things are looking up on the health end of things for him.

Did you report the mountain lion to the DNR?  They like to keep tabs on them.

those are seriously cool wildlife sightings.

I did…will see if they follow up on it. The owner of a little general store in Star Lake said she’d seen it once too but no one else has been able to confirm her sighting.

Star Lake like on HWY K (I think) in Vilas county??

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

DNR in my experiences isn’t real good on call backs although they eventually confirm one way or another.  I found a animal skull several years back and wanted to confirm whether or not it was a wolf skull.  Was afraid I might get in to trouble if I kept it so I had them check it out and it turned out to be a juvenile bear.  But it took quite a while with me pestering them to get a response.

FTP for a rumbly, rainy Sunday!

[bartrod]

Yes, Star Lake is on Co. K…been going there for our anniversary for several years…great area 🙂

Headed to Hammond today after the rain to spoil the grandkids again 🙂 I couldn’t believe we got 5+ inches of rain last night…some of the farm fields turned into lakes…but a few miles to the west, there were only puddles.
