My only option to write is to use my iPhone since I have no Internet connection here. My phone connection is pretty weak here as well. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that I can get everything posted without any issues.
We got to our cabin just after midnight and took the opportunity to finally sleep in. We woke up, made a late breakfast and took a walk around the property. I haven't been here since August '06 (when I broke my leg) and there are some minor changes, but nothing earth shattering. For the most part, almost everything was as I left it four years ago.
The cabin isn't exactly in Athelstane, but it is the closest intersection of a town where we will go for supplies when they are needed. My dad left us a lot of food so we didn't really need anything, but we did make a run for milk and OJ. This was where one of the larger changes in the area as the general store that has been open for as long as I can remember was out of business. Thankfully someone else took up the torch...but the other place had the best cuts of meat.
In the afternoon, we took a drive to Goodman Park which is one of the larger county parks in the area. The park runs along the Peshtigo River which has a nice little waterfall with some rapids running through it. The river was running pretty strong with a water level higher than I have seen. Leandra and I couldn't really go to far out into he river because of the strong current even being downstream from the falls. We also walked some of the paths in the woods which provided a nice feast for the mosquitos. We suffered a little, but the exercise was nice.
We got back and chilled for the rest of the night. We grilled chicken and corn for dinner (the first time I grilled
corn in the husk) and caught up on some of my comic book reading. That's right...I still collect.
We got one more day up here until we head back to Milwaukee to catch a couple of ballgames.
