As we came up north to stage equipment for next weeks tapping to our surprise we found maple trees wanting to give.
We initiated emergency tapping and put holes in 311 trees up through this morning and the first sap is in the cooker.
The weather is certainly looking towards an early spring and ice out.

Why is it when I click on the Waters Edge Webcam I get a blank webpage?
IT Tech.:
I'm not sure of the technical terms, but they are trying to cram 4 lbs. of meat in a 2 lb. bag.

Hey Judy:
First of all, the camera is not set up (on the LLAA site) with the provided GUI (Graphic User Interface). If you want to use the camera as it was intended, use the link on Andy's (knottlane) page (can't post the URL here as the guestbook will not allow). Just look on the left side of the KL Homepage for the link that says "Live LLAA Webcam by Water's Edge" Once in the camera GUI you will control the camera just as you do the knottlane cam, i.e. presets, zoom, etc.. The reason that you get the blank page is that you are just seeing a forwarded camera image. With the code written for the pasted image, you can still control the movement of the camera by clicking on the image but that will always bring the blank page which you just hsve to just exit out of. This will allow the pasted image to show the new camera position. All that said, just cut and paste the URL for the camera in you browser and you'll see the same interface that knottlane uses.
As a sidenote, IT TEch is somewhat right. First off, Waters Edge has generously donated the DSL line for the camera to be used by everyone. It is Frontier DSL and its bandwidth is small and slow. That creates a somewhat poor image that the LLAA Webmaster has decided to remove the sound option and slow the streaming speed. It has been reccomended that Waters Edge upgrade to Packerland Broadband, but that is their call. The Association is interested in having a camera at the Boat Landing but for now the logistics of electric and Broadband is probably too expensive. If you are interested in a camera on your property and you have Packerland, contact aLf on his site. He will be happy to steer you in the right direction. A camera runs ~ $500. Installation is simple and as long as you have the internet connection, operastional cost is only the electric cost which is very minimal (a few dollars a month). It would be nice to have a network of cameras around the lake. If you can help donate let me know.

There is plenty of snow in the north woods to enjoy. I didn't measure, but there is at least a foot and a half. The trails are in good condition, but the sledders are not abundant. I bet the establishments miss you all! It goes without say that we need precipitation for the lakes sake! Pretty soon the south bays are going to be the south meadows.
Updater 2:
You can really feel Spring in the air. The melting has begun. Teps are to be inthe 40's all week. There is beginning to be onlt grass on the north and east sides of the roads. With the dry outlook the next two weeks, I forsee an early melt. Yes there is still a foot and a half of snow in most spots, but it will be much less by the weekend. I'd guess that the trails will be trash in a week.

I like the underwater video. It brings back chilling memories of the time I went thru in 8'-10' of water/ice in the early 70's. Eerie.
Nemo:
Thanks SSJ, we shot it as an experiment and I thought it turned out pretty well. The next one should be better if we get some sun this weekend.

What's the best route to get from Lucerne to Ski Brule? Google says to take 55 all the way up. Thanks.
Nemo:
We go Hwy 8 through Laona to Hwy 139. 139 turns into 189 just over the Michigan border. Follow 189 for just a few more miles and a sign will point the way to Brule. Be sure to see the Hamm's Beer bar sign and the old Texaco Station when passing through Long Lake on 139. The total trip takes about 55 minutes from the north end of Lucerne.

I believe the "guy who asks your dump permit number" has a name and it is Jim. I'm not positive tho. I do know he is a farmer from the greater Argonne area, for what it's worth.
Dumper:
It is "Jim" and he farms in the Camp Lake area. He's a very nice guy. I've known him for years and I truly think he knows nothing about "dump doings". He's told me the board tells him nothing until it's time to enforce. I beleive he'll find out just before we do. He's an outside contractor not a town employee.
