Bearskin Trail
The Bearskin Trail crosses lakes and marshes providing a wonderful way to view scenic Oneida County in northern Wisconsin. This old railroad trestle serves as the starting point out of downtown Minocqua.

On this morning I took a walk without aContinue reading “More converging lines”
