Snow is melting off the roof. Starting to see gravel through the ice on the driveway. I’ll have to get the lawnmower out soon.

So how was your Friday the 13th? I woke up with a sore throat that didn’t go away. Betty got a call this morning that the cash registers in the cafeteria weren’t working, so she went in early and worked late trying to get caught up. But neither of us got hit by an SUV.  http://www.nwherald.com/2017/01/13/crystal-lake-public-works-department-employee-flown-to-hospital-after-being-hit-by-suv/al1nwy2/

My brother-in-law was driving the city truck when his co-worker got sandwiched between the trailer and an SUV that crashed into him. Both legs shattered. My brother-in-law has whiplash.

Someone should write an article about the Thread Stealers forum and :ftp:s

I especially liked Sandlanders’ article about how they hiked the entire Ice Age Trail this summer.

Great articles in the WGA Newsletter! Some really masterful writers in this issue 😉

Do you need a state pass to camp here? or some other kind of pass?

No. It is a county park. All you need to do is pay the camping fee. There is no entrance fee. There is a $4 daily fee for using the boat landings, or you can buy an annual sticker for $25. Details are on the Marathon County Parks website.

And if I was in the forums by myself, I would take the :ftp: for page 744

Of course if I was driving from AZ to WI by myself, my route might include Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky 😀

Trying to plan a trip out to Phoenix in March. Mom is selling her RV and wants to bring her AZ car back to WI. So we are planning to fly out, pack her stuff in the car, and drive back to WI. Google maps says it is a 27 hour trip, but if we add 2 hours we can go through Arkansas and pick up another state.

I see that Marsh to the Philippines (GCGNRY) is still on the list. Almost 3 years since the last find. Who’s going to make the marsh?

Booked your room. Ha. We are what, 30 minutes from BigJim60 Estate?

About that, but only because there’s no direct route. In winter I can drive across the flowage and cut 10 minutes off the drive 😀

FTP for Thursday. I should really be sleeping now.

[BigJim]

Congrats on the 10K milestone. Makes me feel like a slacker.

I’m going on a retreat in February, but we’ll be sleeping with the fishes. OK, maybe retreat isn’t the right word, more like Boy Scout overnight at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.

I changed it, but couldn’t fit in all of the words but it shouldn’t be confusing any longer. P.S. I booked my hotel room tonight

I booked my hotel room, too. Maybe I can put out some new caches in the area between now and then.
