My hometown is 20 minutes away from Minocqua. I love the Northwoods and it was such a wonderful amazing place to grow up-- so many outdoor sports in every season, summers in the lake, and I spent so many hours hidden up in trees I climbed reading books. We spent SO MUCH time outside. My sister and her husband and 4 kids live there still and so does my dad, and DS absolutely loves going there and asked me if next summer he could spend a whole month there
