The riders with their hounds are really something to see. Here we have a rider with 12 couples or 24 hounds. Twenty riders and the hounds willContinue reading “Fox Hounds”

Foggy Morning

Fall weather sets in on Lake Minocqua. This northern community usually sees it first snow in October and lazy summer days are at an end.

Many can be seen from the Highway 51 bridge orContinue reading “Fall at The Beacons”

Lost Canoe Lake

Driving on the back roads of Northern Wisconsin I found a place to pull over. Following a trail to the water there was this small beach with these canoes. This is an interesting area to explore with hidden areas like this, scenic structures and wonderful small towns.
