    The Mountain Bay State Trail goes right 'over' Boduel, but you have to back track on side streets from the trail to get into Bonduel. Some bike rider from Chicago asked me why there's no direct access from the trail to Bonduel. I said, "Because the nice people of Bonduel don't want people from Chicago bringing Chicago to Bonduel."

She would call me about 11 am complaining she had nothing to do; I suggested she bound up our daughter, put her on the sled and walk to downtown. My mistake as she had already done it-took about an hour tops and she was not a happy camper 🙄🙄

    Have you ever done Land o: Lakes, in Vilas County? My family used to vacation up on Big Portage Lake near there in the summers where my grandfather had built a number of cottages. Originally they were going to use the place as a summer camp for under privileged kids - they called it Camp Indian Dog but the buy who was supposed to secure the kids for them spent all their money and never came up with any kids. So they just used it for a vacation site for the family and rented some of the cabins out to friends during the summers and hunting season.

    That gold Cadillac reminds me of when I saw a pristine black 1950s Cadillac Eldorado in the shoping center in Seal Beach, California in the early 1970s. That thing looked brand new, but then I still remember my neighbor Mr Nichols from when I was barely three years old in early 1957. Mr Nichols had a seriously oxidized dark blue 1938 Pontiac four door with the teardrop headlights. I can still see that car sitting in his driveway in Quito, Califronia like it was yesterday. Here in Phoenix there is amost nothing as old as that merchantile you featured today, anything from the early 1960s is a rarity around these parts. Hang in there Marty, hope your feeling better already. Sally and Marty take care, it was fun seeing something different than Phoenix, trust me.
