The Goodes of WI celebrate the annual summer rite of renting a cabin on a lake, somewhere “up north” in Wisconsin. This year’s winner: Phillips, WI. Time frame, mid July. Our “cabin” was located on the north shore of Long Lake, part of the Phillips Chain of Lakes, and real near the thriving metropolis of Phillips itself.
In attendance: Dave and Nancy, Paula and Roger, Tim and Eileen, Madeline and Jeremy.
It was the usual deal, boat, bikes, loafing, knitting, serious computer programming and debugging, (and in Paula and Madeline’s case) shopping. And it isn’t easy to “shop” in Phillips. There was a nice sandy beach and dock as part of the deal.
Tim and Eileen brought their road bikes and two kayaks, Roger brought his green canoe. On one day Roger and Madeline paddled the green boat down the South Fork of the Flambeau, accompanied by Tim and Eileen in yaks.
There was road riding, but not as much as we’d hoped. A lot of roads are dirt. Still, it worked fine for the week we were there.
