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.

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.

Wow! I found a geocoin this week that went missing from the first cache that it was placed in…six years ago! The odd thing is I found it front and center in a tb hotel that’s visited regularly. I’d like to know the story behind that!

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.

Congratulations J & L…I don’t think there’s ever such a thing as too many grandkids 🙂

Found four caches while my wife was browsing through the shops in Minoqua…then off to Bosacki’s Boathouse for dinner…an excellent venue for our anniversary 🙂
Watching the radar now for some potential storms moving in.
Hope all the fathers out their had an excellent Father’s Day 🙂

bartod–Local 5 Live at 9 a.m. is featuring Oconto this week. Today’s show had a segment on Wayne’s Family Restaurant. Also of interest was the story on pickleball. Did you sponsor today’s show?

I missed it…never watch tv in the mornings. We’ve been getting some nice press lately. The historical society’s new carriage house made the Green Bay Press Gazette last week…resulted in a huge influx of visitors over the weekend. And Copperfest is this weekend…I get to drive the 1911 Waverly electric car in the parade 🙂 Whoo hoo!

And another geoart series…this one’s in Door Co…the big smiley by Labzone.

I looked all over for that variety and couldn’t find it…but I did get a FTF on a cache by that name 🙂

Also found someone’s Tin Cup.

Had been gone for a week on a fishing trip with little cell reception…got home to find quite a number of copy/paste logs on my caches. It bugs the hell out of me that I put so much time and energy into making creative caches that should provoke some sort of appreciative response. Maybe its time to archive the whole works and get on with my life.

Sorry for the rant on such a beautiful day…time to get out and enjoy it 🙂
