ROUGH, MELTING ICE AND LOTS OF OPEN WATER
DON'T EVEN TRY
GOT THERE LAST YEAR8:00 AM. 25.5 degrees, wind W, very light. The sky is cloudless and the barometer predicts partly cloudy skies. It is a gorgeous winter day .
Wanting to do something for Joan’s birthday yesterday, we took Hwy 13 west along the shore, through Cornucopia and stopping for lunch at a little bar and grill, Woody’s, in Herbster. The fare was limited but good, and inexpensive. We continued on to Port Wing, and drove the back roads along the Flag River. The deer were moving yesterday and we saw several, and just west of Cornucopia on the way back we saw three large turkeys on the side of the road, but I wasn’t quick enough to get a photo before they flew off. I think this is the first time I have seen turkeys north of Hwy 2.
We stopped at Myer’s Beach to check the condition of the ice caves and they are not accessible by walking along the shoreline. There is a land trail but I don't think one can see much from it and it would be pretty certain death to climb down the cliffs to get to the caves. There is a lot of open water all along the south shore, and with the sun as high as it is that’s it for the ice caves this winter. But, there’s always next year.
