Minocqua and Woodruff, WI


Once underway this morning we made good time to the Wisconsin state line. We stopped in at the visitor center and got talking with some people. The result was a change in plan. We turned left early. Instead of going to Oshkosh and running up along the lake we went up the center of the state to the Minocqua/Woodruff area.

Minocqua is a bit touristy, but here in Woodruff we have found some quiet in a small trailer park that caters mostly to full season renters and semi-permanent tenants that have had trailers here long enough that they now have decks and docks built on their sites. Yes a dock, the park is on a lake and has a small, but nice, beach.
















































The spaces are pretty skinny. I had to negotiate between two pine trees to get in our spot and once in there was just barely room to get our slides out on either side. There is a picnic table on the site, but if we get neighbors in the spot between the road and us we will not be able to use it. That should not be a problem since we will mostly be sightseeing tomorrow and then off on our way on Thursday.

We are enjoying lower temperatures and as I write this there is a gentle rain falling. The rain is expected to pick up through the evening, but should be just a memory by the time we get up in the morning.

We met a nice couple from Ft Meyers that are here for the season in a Journey like ours, only a year newer. They passed on some ideas of things to do tomorrow. So, tomorrow we will set out to see the area!
