Well, it’s been a month since the last Ramble. I guess that is better than the two months between show 9 and 10. Anyway, Seeley Dave and TJ are back for Northwoods Ramble Show 11 and a review of the winter that wasn’t. 2024 started with a New Year's Day paddle down the Namekagon River for Dave and Liz. With almost no snow this winter, we go snow whale (swale?) watching to see the huge piles of manmade snow the Birkie has stored and intends to spread out to create a 10K loop for the 50th-anniversary. TJ explains how labor-intensive the Birkie’s snowmaking capabilities are. We discuss the huge economic hit the area has taken from winter's lack of visitors. Dave gives an update on his frozen lake riding goals.
