2/13/11 CHANGE

NEW NAME

PROGRESS

THE WOLF PACK WAS HERE

HEN TURKEY ON HWY K
Sunday, 845 AM.  30 degrees, wind SSW, calm.  The sky is overcast and the barometer predicts snow.
    Needing to go to the recycle center with a month’s worth of stuff yesterday, we stopped to view the progress on the new casino in Redcliff.  The major steelwork is now up, surprising progress given the weather.  It will no longer be Isle Vista Casino, but Legendary Waters Casino.  We will continue to report on its progress.
    We hadn’t driven Hwy K in a month either, and we checked to see whether the Larsen’s place had been plowed out by the town, and we can report things look good for maple sugaring.  We drove down Lohman Road to look at the logging that is being done, and encountered the footprints of the local wolf pack in the snow (but no deer tracks).  Further down Hwy K we spotted two hen turkeys next to the road, and the one pictured flew up into a roadside tree and sat there, quite unconcerned.  This is the first we have seen  turkeys this far north on the Bayfield peninsula.
