lake nebagamon: Skip the Bong & Blatnik bridges in Duluth - taking the Highway 39 bridge route via Oliver to Superior, Wisconsin and beyond
- 05/31/08 02:46 PM
If you're headed north on Interstate 35 from Minneapolis - Saint Paul toward Duluth and plan to cross over into Wisconsin, here are alternate routes you may want to try over the congested Fourth of July weekend. [NOTE: I drive back and forth to and from Madeline Island from the Twin Cities quite a bit, and scenic routes like these can really make the trip more serene and fun!] Instead of taking the Bong Bridge (Interstate Highway 2) into Wisconsin, take the Minnesota 210 exit near Black Bear Casino and head east through Carlton, Minnesota. This route takes you past the Thomson Hydroelectric Dam site and … (0 comments)

In a couple of earlier posts, I wrote about the challenges of gardening on Madeline Island and in the south shore areas of Douglas, Bayfield and Ashland counties in northwest Wisconsin. In those posts, I outlined several sources for gardening supplies: http://activerain.com/blogsview/489195/Gardening-on-Madeline-Island http://activerain.com/blogsview/490739/More-Resources-for-Madeline I've been hunting for gardening and landscaping resources and last week I stumbled upon this one.

lake nebagamon: Morning In Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin
- 05/07/08 12:14 AM
I finally figured out where to get a cup of coffee at 7 in the morning up here! I'm at Rose's Bakery & Coffee Shop, in Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin. I stumbled in here at about 6:45 and Rose herself made me a latte. There were only two customers in here when I arrived, but now (about fifteen minutes later) the place is packed! This seems to be the place where the locals congregate in the morning for an eye-opener. Rose's offers an assortment of espresso, Americano, cappuccino, latte and specialty beverages, including Chai and regular teas and hot chocolate. The baked … (6 comments)

lake nebagamon: Lake Nebagamon Is Like No Other Resort Community in the Upper Midwest
- 10/27/07 04:59 PM
In the late 1890s, lumber baron, Fredrick Weyerhauser moved his family to the Lake Nebagamon and established a resort community there. Weyerhauser and others fell in love with the area and built it into one of the most charming summer communities in all of Wisconsin, comparable with vacation destinations like Bayfield, Madeline Island and Door County. Around the turn of the century, the area experienced considerable growth and popularity. President Calvin Coolidge visited in 1928. The Weyerhauser Company constructed camps, added rail service and built a mill, company office buildings, horse stables, boarding and rooming houses and a general store. Lake Nebagamon … (8 comments)
