The Goode Family hooked up for this Very Special Occasion of Dave and Nancy’s 65th Anniversary in Minocqua, WI.\u00a0 Specifically, a very nice house on Squirrel Lake, five miles west of town. In attendance – Dave, Nancy, Paula, Roger, Jeremy, Eileen, Madeline, and Tim.\u00a0 Here’s a look at our digs.<\/p>\n

We paddled Squirrel Lake on the first morning.\u00a0 It’s a big lake.\u00a0 Conditions were close to glassy.<\/p>\n

A few of us hiked around the neighborhood.\u00a0 An old, not functioning resort named Squirrel Lake Resort was at the end of the road.\u00a0 A few cabins were being used by the family of the original owners, the rest were more or less “returning to nature”.\u00a0 Beyond this resort, the last thing on the road was woods, and the dam at the end of Squirrel Lake.\u00a0 Squirrel Lake became Squirrel Stream at that point.<\/p>\n

As is the Goode habit, we ate ourselves sick morning, noon, and night. It was a dark day in family history when somebody signed up for Costco.\u00a0 A special cake was just the ticket on the night we celebrated the “65th”.<\/p>\n

The Hankard family was up at their yearly YMCA Camp Nawawka camp out this same week, and as it turned out, they were not very far away. We rolled over for a look.\u00a0 It is sweet.\u00a0 Nice cabins (esp the Island cabin), interesting lake with super clean water, and an undeveloped shoreline.<\/p>\n
