We spent a long weekend at one of our favorite places, Honey Rock Camp in northern Wisconsin. We’ve visited there each year for many years and always have a good time. Highlights included catching several Northern Pike; seeing lots of wildlife including bald eagles, wild turkeys, muskrat, and more; and eating at The Farmer’s Wife restaurant on Friday night for an all-you-can-eat fish fry with potato pancakes. Yum!
