 Food For Thoughts Raffle
 We Have Our October 2005 Winner!

My first trip up to the "Northwoods" was when I was only 6 months old. My parents told me they would put the playpen in the middle of the boat and I would sleep for hours while they both fished on Big Arbor Vitea-we stayed at "Buckhorn Lodge". Throughout the years we stayed at "Perks Resort" on Little St. Germain and various other resorts on different lakes. We eventually found our way back to Big Arbor Vitea campground for many years and to this day my family spend fathers day week on Big Arbor Vitea at Ladwigs Pine Arbor Resort. 

How great it is to sit on the porch of the cabin overlooking the lake and listen to the call of the loon, smelling the fresh pine, watching the ducks and their little ones make their way around the lake, watching the daily catches brought in by the fishermen, looking up into the clear sky at night and seeing  thousands of stars and waking up each morning when the first motor starts to begin a day of fishing.   

This year will be my 45th year going to the northwoods and all of us still enjoy listening to the stories my dad tells about the times he spent with his father in the northwoods.  Our mom passed in 2000 and her request was to have her ashes scattered around the Lake because she loved the area so much.
Everybody should experience the northwoods for a week to get the real meaning of  "Up North"

Shore Lunch

Last September in the north woods of Eagle River, Wisconsin on Dam Lake, my brother Bob and I were on our annual muskie week. Caught a 22" Northern Pike in late late afternoon. Clouds came in and then it began to thunder and lighting. We scurried to shore in the pouring rain and ran for shelter. Next morning realized my great northern fish was dead on the stringer. We decided to drop it off in the middle of the lake. As we were fishing along the shore line, we noticed a Bald Eagle circling above the area where we dropped off the dead fish which was floating. The Eagle flew down to grab the fish, but the fish was too heavy to lift. The Eagle then landed in the water and proceed to swim the fish to shore using it wings. That Eagle dragged the fish about a quarter mile to the shore. Upon reaching shore, the Eagle had the fish for breakfast. Tried to fly but being so wet he decided to dry himself off on a tree limb he perched himself on. All of a sudden, the tree limb broke and he was in a free fall. He struggled to fly with his saterated wings and was about to hit the dirt - - when he recovered. He then flew to a highter branch where he draped his wings to allow them to dry. We then went to shore to examine the breakfasht scene. The only thing in the sand were a few fish scales and Eagle talon prints. That Eagle ate every thing head and all.
