My family mostly hangs out in Oneida County now, on the Eagle River chain of lakes. It's beautiful.
LOL! The weather here is very unpredictable because of being between Green Bay and Lake Michigan--the wind shifts dramatically from time to time, it's gone from winter to spring and back several times already. I think I've seen one bluebird, but mostly cardinals where I am--and turkeys! There's at least 50+ turkeys in a field adjacent to the house, so they're always in the backyard. About a dozen deer run through here every so often, too. Great fishing on the stream up the road, also--trout and salmon run there, the trout are running right now.
I've actually never been to Oneida County, though I have known people from Minocqua and it sounds like a nice place.
