Fall Must Do List
This time of the year produces some of the most spectacular weather. Dramatic, autumn cloud patterns that are the backdrop to an array of deciduous colors make for the perfect visual picnic. I have also noticed that the insect population is directly proportional to the number of people visiting our area and Fall brings that lower influx of people and pestilence. My wife and I recently hiked the Sturgeon Bay portion of the North Country Trail. What a fun and relaxing time – no bugs, very few people, if any, and the colors, smells and sounds of the wilderness were just the ticket to recharge after a busy week at RE/MAX Lighthouse. So, if you reside in our neck of the woods or would like to experience the outdoors specific to our area: Don’t wait! Come have some fun because Fall soon will be gone and…oh, I see snowflakes as I am typing.
