Swamp Archives - The Jacobs Family Website

Shortly before leaving we were fortunate enough to get a last bit of snowfall which meant an evening walking in the woods out to County Road FF. This was early January in Wisconsin so by evening I mean 4pm.

Nora wants to be enthusiastic about the sledding opportunitites around our house but I think deep down inside she was underwhelmed.

A somewhat maunfactured sledding crash.

Kai in the snow

I like this picture. Despite Crystal's best efforts she remains shorter than Kai

Nora changes tactics with her sledding.

Checking out the creek

I don't think she meant to strike the classic Big Foot pose...

Trudging back to the cabin

Nora in the snow. It would have been an even better picture without the neon sled but she was not be be detered.

Still working on a backlog of photos. This one is from December 28 when there was a mix of freezing rain and then heavy snow. Nora and I took a stroll up South Shore Drive for a bit of photography and lack-luster sledding. Still, a few nice pictures….

This is the creek that flows out of Bass Lake. It is easy to miss it entirely even in the winter with no leaves on the trees. I think it is picturesque in any weather.
