Wisconsin area events

Cinnamon rolls, you say?

 

IIRC, the Peshtigo Fire museum runs on reduced hours. For years, I've wanted to hit that up. The fire ran right up within 50' of my parent's place on the Oconto south of Mountain and up into the Nicolet.

 

I'm definitely up for heading to the UP, I've never really off roaded so I'd love to learn on outings with this group.

 

I've been there twice, once in grade school and again in hi-school, really interesting to hear how a lot of people said that fire balls traveled up the lake and started the fire but I don't remember ever hearing a solid cause for the fire like in Chicago.

 

The Peshtigo Fire started from a spark created by a passing train. That year, there was a lot of dry brush laying along the tracks, just waiting to start a fire. They said that the fire was so hot and the area so dry that the heat alone was causing the dry brush to virtually explode into fireballs.

 

Never heard that story.

 

Just wanna say I'm glad it didn't snow as bad as some forecasts showed.

 

The Peshtigo Fire Museum has a great write-up. http://www.peshtigofiremuseum.com/fire/

 

What time is everyone getting to camp on Friday? I'm also curious with the route we're driving is that the section north of Wyalusing or south?

 

I'm expecting to get there mid to late afternoon.

 

Probably around noon on Friday

 

I’ll be there very early.

 

I should be there Thursday night but not until after 8-9pm.

 

Ok cool then I will not worry about getting there too early on Friday

 

"Mid-day" Friday is about as specific as I'll commit to.

 

Wanted to get there early Friday but probably be there midday.

 

You won’t be alone..

 

I am taking off of work at noon. Will head over after that. A little over 2 hours for me.
I will have to get adequately over-packed ahead of time...

 

I'm looking to get there noon ish on Friday.
