Wisconsin Northeastern 6 County "Meandering" : Sept 9-11,2021

We began a Six County Wisconsin self guided tour (Langlade,Forest,Florence, Vilas, Iron, Oneida) on Sept. 9, 2021. First stop: Langlade County touring Mepps Lure Factory followed by the Langlade County Historical Museum. Driving northeast we stopped in Crandon, the county seat of Forest County, for a restful coffee & snack. Next was Florence county in the state's northeastern corner. Noteworthy are the historic Courthouse and Jail. Eagle River, in Vilas County was our two day "home". On Friday, Sept 10th we explored Vilas County with a short excursion into Iron County. While in Vilas we took the Manitowish Waters Cranberry Marsh Tour & then hiked in the North Lakeland Discovery Center. On Saturday, Sept. 10th we headed southward stopping in Rhinelander , the county seat of Oneida County. Surprises were the Hodag and a sidewalk chalk festival ! We have places to go and people to meet to shake off the Covid pandemic blues.
