« Previous	Post-Peak Color Week	Next »
	October 9th through 15th, 2017

Last week started off sunny, with the lake rising up to meet the falling leaves. The leaves floated down anywhere from about 1 to 80 feet and the lake, due to the previous very wet weekend, jumped up about 3 inches. There was no snow yet.

The trees on the West shore are looking quite bare.

The trees on the East side of the lake seem to be making more of an effort to hold onto their leaves.

The predominate color for Fall 2017 is a yellow/gold. Not much red this year.

Late season flowers are trying their best to add red to the shore. What they lack in height, they make up for in intensity.

While crossing the Country to attend this Fall's <i>Knottlane Board Meeting and Pool Party</i>, it was observed that the ski runs on the lumpy parts between Lake Lucerne and Southwestern Crandon (pronounced Las Vegas) are white but the lifts are not yet running.

The trees in the lumpy parts are hard to spot to check for color. There was talk of one behind that hill, but didn't see it.

There are still ducks ducking around the backwaters in Southwestern Crandon. You'd think that they would be heading South by now, but no. Lazy ducks.

Bar-bots! We'd been thinking about making a bar-bot for some time now. There was even some preliminary work on obtaining equipment and even programming thoughts. The code monkeys in Southwestern Crandon beat us to it. In the coming weeks, we'll let you know if drinks are more tasty when served by cold metal and plastic actuators.

The weather here in Southwestern Crandon is warmer than that back at the lake. It's dryer and more fountainy, too.

The end of Fall is a ways away, but getting closer. Most people have pulled boats, rafts, lifts, and kids from the lake and put them high up on the shore or in school. The waiting game before ice-in has begun and so has the coding for this year's Knottlane Ice-In Contest. It will be posted in the next week or so between board meetings and dips in a surprisingly cold pool.<br><br><br>-Nemo mostly populates the deep end.
