So after the tour on Friday night, Amy was pleased to take me on a tour of her Northwoods
area. We were a bit tired, but still excited to get out and see some of the beauty of the
Northwoods. We hopped in her car and set out for our evening tour… and I was excited
to see her “friends” in the car! Her “love monkeys” both Curious & Sock!!!

One of the stops on the tour, was a beautiful wilderness resort where Amy’s family
comes up to vacation at. And what Northwood location would be complete without
a chainsaw carved bear?!

While we were touring the area, we also pulled off and stopped off at a beautiful lake.
The colors were beautiful, the lake incredible… and what a great sign on the bridge!

Then we headed off to tour Minocqua, and see some of the sights & locations that make up
Amy’s day-to-day life in the Northwoods. Lucky for me… we pulled off in a small park
just in time for me to view an incredible sunset!

So then we finally got around to having dinner… and of course, I had to start off with a big
basket of deep-fried cheese curds!!! When in Rome…
