This past month I was reminded about the power of social media and journalism 101. While perusing Facebook, I saw a post that was being shared with hundreds about one of my favorite farmers in the world — Barronett Bob. Or, just the Corn Man. The rumor was he wasn’t going to be selling this…… Continue reading Barronett Bob (AKA Corn Man)

Predator Round-Up, Sea Cave Mayhem, Playing Hookie and an Unwarranted Pity Party
Newsflash: Last week I had an unwarranted pity party. It started during my 5-hour drive home from the UP after a weekend of bonding with women at a 3-day Becoming an Outdoor Woman camp (more on that experience in a different post). I left the camp recharged and excited about life. But then, I had…… Continue reading Predator Round-Up, Sea Cave Mayhem, Playing Hookie and an Unwarranted Pity Party

The Wild Waterfalls of Iron County, Wisconsin – Part III
The tough ones. I’m using tough in a generic sense. The falls I was able to find weren’t necessarily difficult to access or remote in terms of mileage on foot. However, they either involved fleets of steps, vague directions, or a lack of signage making it a bit of a hit or miss in terms…… Continue reading The Wild Waterfalls of Iron County, Wisconsin – Part III
The Wild Waterfalls of Iron County Wisconsin – Part II
The easy ones. Iron County has no shortage of water. The county boasts 300 crystal clear lakes covering 34,000 acres. To the north, the county line is Lake Superior. This creates the perfect storm of waterfalls—some easier to access than others. Upson Falls: Upson Falls is located within a well-maintained town park. The falls is…… Continue reading The Wild Waterfalls of Iron County Wisconsin – Part II
YOLO: The Wild Waterfalls of Northern Iron County, Wisconsin
This isn’t meant to be a political post. Over the course of the past year, news from Iron County has inundated my Facebook feed via a flurry of political, economic and environmental posts. The posts were often triggered by a proposed mine that may or may not ever happen. But buried within the posts were…… Continue reading YOLO: The Wild Waterfalls of Northern Iron County, Wisconsin
Amnicon Falls: The Unassuming State Park of the North
Amnicon Falls is one of those often overlooked but beloved state parks near my home in northwest Wisconsin. The park is small compared to nearby Jay Cooke State Park. It is often lost in the hype and marketing of the North Shore and the countless parks and waterfalls that dot the shoreline. By some respects,…… Continue reading Amnicon Falls: The Unassuming State Park of the North
The Perfect Marketing Storm
The calendar says April 4 but if I look out my window, I have the joys of seeing a fresh foot of snow. As someone who is training for a half-marathon, this is extremely annoying. Muster up a conversation with anyone in the tri-county or possibly tri-state area, and the conversation will likely turn to…… Continue reading The Perfect Marketing Storm
Celebrating 36 My Way
I turned 36 today. As of this moment, I’ve been an adult longer than a kid. I officially feel old. I thought this might kick in when I turned 30 but that was a breeze compared to today. Perhaps it is because I’m a new mom. Perhaps it is because I have now fully accepted…… Continue reading Celebrating 36 My Way
