This photo ran on the front page of the Ashland Daily Press today. To be frank, I’m a bit stunned. The National Park Services estimates that 6,000 people visited the mainland Sea Caves on Saturday alone. In big cities, this number might seem insignificant. But you have to remember that I live in a county…… Continue reading Apostle Islands Sea Cave Madness

Apostle Islands Sea Caves Are Now Open to the Public
The Apostle Islands Mainland Sea Caves are now open! If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it. While lots of folks visit the Apostle Islands Sea Caves during the summer, winter is tricky because you never quite know if they are going to open. In fact, the last time they were safe to visit by…… Continue reading Apostle Islands Sea Caves Are Now Open to the Public
Bulk Foods in the Woods… Why not?
This article first appeared in the December issue of Business North. I couldn’t help but sharing for the simple fact that it is folks like Kitten that make living in northwest Wisconsin so awesome. Plus, where else in the U.S will you find a massive Bulk Food Store in the middle of nowhere… Definitely off…… Continue reading Bulk Foods in the Woods… Why not?
Goat Cheese Anyone?
In this month’s Business North, I have several articles covering a wide range of topics from a local goat cheese maker, to an off the beaten path bulk food store and an in-depth look at the man behind the Evergreen Country Shopper. I thought I’d share the goat cheese story first, because well, who doesn’t…… Continue reading Goat Cheese Anyone?
What makes a great cup of coffee? A Bayfield roaster just might have the answer…
What makes a great cup of coffee? Is it the quality of the bean or the company you share it with? I’ve recently become a coffee snob after discovering the difference in quality a cup of coffee made with freshly ground beans can bring to one’s morning. Since caffeine plays such a critical part of…… Continue reading What makes a great cup of coffee? A Bayfield roaster just might have the answer…
Local Brandy Coming to Iron River!
It is no secret I love living in Iron River. And, here’s another reason: White Winter Winery. I first learned about the winery while working at Northland College. It turns out the owner are alums, which lead me to their shop to do an article about their mead. Fast forward to today, and when I…… Continue reading Local Brandy Coming to Iron River!
Berry Picking, Bare Feet, and Three Strange Men in an Ambulance
Prior to an unsettling event last week that caught me completely off-guard, I had the opportunity to take advantage of yet another great past-time in my neck of the woods—berry picking. The wild blueberries in Bayfield County are bountiful this summer. And, thanks to having a husband who spends most of his time driving the…… Continue reading Berry Picking, Bare Feet, and Three Strange Men in an Ambulance
Got Milk? (Guest Post by Beth Probst, author of circletouradventures.com)
This past week I had the opportunity to share my favorite ice cream business along Lake Superior for the oober cool “Girl from the Northwoods” blog. I also did an article in the July issue of Business North about the dairy industry and Tetzner’s. I frankly don’t have the patience or desire to ever go…… Continue reading Got Milk?

Ice Melt in Bayfield County
This past Saturday I was supposed to be lacing up my tennis shoes and running a half-marathon in Nisswa, Minnesota. But, Baby Boy Probst had different plans for me. (Yes, I may in fact slip a mention of baby from here on forward). In early March I retired my running shoes for walking shoes. At…… Continue reading Ice Melt in Bayfield County
Spring Thaw – Lost Creek Falls
I remember it like yesterday. It was spring, 2005 and I had just met this odd duck online named Steve. After dining over Chinese food and cheap beer we determined we liked each other enough to hang out again. Since it was spring thaw and Steve claimed to be an outdoorsman/forester, he suggested we hike…… Continue reading Spring Thaw – Lost Creek Falls
