First October Weekend

October 1st through 3rd, 2010

Lake Lucerne
Friday's rain and wind gave way to clouds and sun by Saturday morning. More rain/wind/hail/woo girls would come later in the day while we were golfing.
Lake Lucerne
Even though peak has passed, there is still plenty of color to be seen in them trees.
Lake Lucerne
The creek in the northeast corner of the lake continues to flow. This is a very good sign. The creek bed was dry for most of the summer.
Lake Lucerne
Pumpkin carving on Saturday night was well attended. Several pumpkins were carved, no one was injured, the saki was unopened.
Lake Lucerne
The pumpkins turned out well.
Lake Lucerne
On Sunday morning it became clear that Lake Lucerne experienced the first hard freeze of the year. The sun burned off the thick frost by mid morning.
Lake Lucerne
The lake is cold. Only one boat was seen fishing and no one skied. Most boats and lifts have been pulled from the lake. Many squirrels are running around the woods like lunatics and there seems to be a constant echo of gunfire from hunters sighting in their rifles. The Nicolet golf course was in great shape when it stopped raining/hailing.


-Nemo doesn't think the heavy stuff is coming down for a while yet.
