There you go, again!
What is it with you and Ohio? It's always the brunt of your jokes!
Is it some West Coast joke that us interior folks haven't heard?
Inquiring Buckeyes want to know?
:-))

That's OK. Germans originally settled Cincinnati and started lots of
breweries. Cincy brew is pretty good. (grew up in Ohio, went to school in
Cincy and now a West Coast transplant at KLVK).

There is nothing more refreshing after a really hot day of work, than
pounding down an 8 pack of Shaelings' Little Kings, right? g

How many out there have ever heard of Schaelings?

The Cincinnati beers of our youth are no more.
Wiedeman gone.
Heudapohl gone.

Jay,

We leave PA every year this week for Hayward WI. Have been to Madeline
several times. There is a great beach at the far end, however don't
expect to swim unless you are tougher than leather it is still very cold
this time of year. There is also a great restaurant in LaPointe about 1
block of the main drag, I forget the name but it is in a large building
that looks like it may have been a hotel at one time.

My wife's ancestors came from there.

So, tomorrow morning, at 0-dark-thirty, my 15-year-old son and I are
blasting off for "Up North" -- in this case, Madeline Island, just
off-shore in Lake Superior. Atlas is loaded to the gunwales with
bikes, tents, coolers, food -- you name it. We've got two days.

Mary and I went there a couple of years ago, and had a very nice time.
We had no transportation, however, so we only saw the main city
(LaPointe), and not much else.

This time, Joe and I have packed our mountain bikes, and are planning
to see the whole island. I've verified that camping is allowed on the
airport, and the weather looks good, thus far.

Anyone camped on Madeline Island? Any "must sees" or "must dos"?

Thanks!

I vacationed there last year and took the ferry to town then did the
cruise around the Apostle islands and thoroughly enjoyed. I also liked
the museum on the island.
I was surprised by the number of woodpeckers. They outnumbered all the
other birds put together by about 3-1.

I don't think I would want to go there. Just a bunch of peckerheads
everywhere! g
