Spring Update

Spring is finally here in Northern Wisconsin! Last weekend we visited the W4WDA meeting in Waupaca as visitors. It was a very informative time. We recieved ample good advice and made a lot of contacts. I'm very appreciative for the invite. Additionally, it looks like we could possibly host the March Of Dimes event in October, which we would be honored to do.

Last Sunday we were finally able to start up equipment and begin working. Jeremy spent the afternoon starting on the final 6 wooded campsites that need to be cleared/brushed. It's still a little soft but workable. Our electrician came by today and booked a day several weeks out to bury the power/water. Things are finally moving. We had planned on 2 weeks of vacation in April and May to get all this work done... but old Mr. Winter had different ideas. I guess we'll have to cram everything into May. The only good thing is that several weekends ago we had the fortune to load up the family and do some snow wheeling to get back to a friend's maple sap shack. It's hard to believe that even up here there could be bumper deep snow the beginning of April! Guess if you can't be working, you might as well be wheeling.

For the upcoming Memorial Holiday we have an Isuzu group coming for some free camping and trail building fun. In June the weekends of the 7th, 14th and 21st are open if any other groups would like to reserve a weekend. Just e-mail us if you're interested. If you would like to come by yourself contact us to find out what we're up to or if there is a group you can join. jeremy@northwoodsoverland.com
