Day 40

Glidden,WI - Star Lake,WI (78 miles)

Northern Wisconsin is full of lakes, so because of this there are small seasonal towns everywhere. Seasonal meaning that during the summer the population might be a few hundred (or more) and during the rest of the year there might be less than 50 people who stick around to see the snow.

Star Lake is one of those towns. There are small resorts and cabins for rent, and all the camgrounds are stuffed with people from Minnesota, Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. Motorhomes, ATVs, golfcarts and boats are everywhere. Everyone "living the dream" as one guy put it. The surprising thing is the lack of tent campers. It is as though the no longer exist.

Star Lake is home to Debbie. She owns a resort and the only store for miles. I met her, and her eleven year old grandson Bryan, on our quest to find dinner. After chatting for bit she invited is to go to kareoke with them, and gave me her phone number if we wanted a ride.

Back at our camp site, Jeremy was making friends with our neighbors, Carey and Mike. Mike had been coming to Star Lake since he was a kid. They offered us their grill, so Jeremy had me pick up some hamburgers, and told us to help ourselves to drinks in the cooler!!

Kareoke (how ever the crap you spell it...) was a great time! Debbie and Bryan sure can sing! They even got Jeremy is help out on a song - Under the Boardwalk.

Off to Michigan tomorrow!
