Greg fishing from the dock
We drove up to Post Lake again this morning, about 28 miles from Antigo. It was another beautiful fall day with bright sunshine and warming temps.

Our fishing spot by the dam/spillway was occupied, so we headed over to the boat ramp for a change. We fished minnows, crawlers, crank bait, twister tails, spoons, you name it, we threw it but the fish ignored us!We switched to the dock but no luck there either, so after a couple hours of fishing we drove south to check out the Wolf River access. The Wolf River starts at Post Lake and runs for more than 240 miles. It is a popular white water rafting river for canoers and kayakers.
We did not fish here but just admired the scenery. The water was crystal clear the sound of the rapids was almost mesmerizing. On the way back to Antigo we stopped in to Lil' Hummer's Bar and Grill, Pickerel WI, southeast of Post Lake. We have been in here before and it was recently sold. The new owner will be shutting down for some kitchen remodeling and reopening in October. In the meantime, a Bloody Mary seemed in order so we enjoyed one before heading back to Antigo!Back at Greg & Diane's we enjoyed a going away lunch of burgers and brats with them, and we said our farewells. We've sure had a great time seeing them again and their hospitality is over the top! We have not even left yet and cannot wait until next year when we can visit again!
Tomorrow we pull chocks here at Atigo and drive about four hours south to Yogi Bear Campground near Caledonia WI. This campground is just minutes from where our daughter Michelle and her family live. They will be camping there also, along with some of their friends so it will be a great weekend.
