Springtime in January
I hiked through Lewis Nine Springs E-Way and above average temperatures today. With the warmth and the sunshine it felt like springtime in January. It sure has been a strange winter so far.

History on the Bearskin Trail
With its gorgeous views of northern Wisconsin, and easy biking, there is a lot to love about the Bearskin State Trail.

Someday, I’ll have to see for myself.
