EAGLE RIVER WI VISIT

Beginning August 10 we stayed 5 nights at the Chain O’ Lakes Campground near Eagle River. It is only about 2 miles from cousin Ken’s home and 6 miles from cousin Martha’s home.

I cooked sourdough pancakes for the group one morning at our motor home.

Here I am frying bacon to provide more flavor for the pancakes.

Linda Strong and her Miata are behind me.

Come and get ‘em!

And here are the eager eaters – Ken, Martha, Linda and Jo.

That afternoon  Martha took us, and some friends, on a tour of a few of the chain of lakes around Eagle River in her nice pontoon boat.

Our first point of interest was the dam upstream from Martha’s home.  Rather than to provide a lock to raise and lower boats, below is a part of the boat lift which is basically an elevator on rails.

The partially obscured boat lift is the yellow structure.

On our ride around the lakes, we met the ‘Pirate Ship” tour boat.

Friday night we took Martha to the fish fry at Bucktale Inn. She suggested that I buy the shirt I am wearing to “Keep Eagle River Green”.
