This amazing color show will only last a short time, [...]]]> http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2011/06/03/right-time-for-the-uplands-but/feed/ 0 http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2010/05/15/downed-trees/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=downed-trees http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2010/05/15/downed-trees/#comments Sat, 15 May 2010 10:12:38 +0000 derrick http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/?p=1408 If you happen to be exploring the park this weekend you’ll probably see quite a few downed trees from last weeks storms.  This big pine fell near just past the head of the tumbled rocks trail on the north-west corner of the lake. There’s still a lot of clean up to do and hikers may [...]]]> http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2010/05/15/downed-trees/feed/ 0 http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2010/04/07/a-little-rain-must-fall/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-little-rain-must-fall http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2010/04/07/a-little-rain-must-fall/#comments Wed, 07 Apr 2010 10:49:32 +0000 derrick http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/?p=1320 We just can’t be too disappointed with the rain over the last few days. Even today’s predicted cool high temperature is actually average for this time of year at 52F.  It was actually getting way too dry in most of Wisconsin and in fact we really do need the rain to bring out those summer [...]]]> http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2010/04/07/a-little-rain-must-fall/feed/ 0 http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2009/07/31/speed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=speed http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2009/07/31/speed/#comments Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:13:09 +0000 derrick http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/?p=490 I’ve been a bit frustrated with the speed of the website recently.  Seems when nearly 160,000 stop by in just a short time, our server start’s choking trying to process it all.  Well, I’ve done some work to get that solved and hopefully we’ll be running much quicker now.  Let me know how it’s working [...]]]> http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2009/07/31/speed/feed/ 0 http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2009/06/29/400-trail-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=400-trail-2 http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2009/06/29/400-trail-2/#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:11:35 +0000 derrick http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/2009/06/29/400-trail-2/ Yesterday we drove about 15 miles west of Baraboo to explore the 400 Trail. The 400 is an old train track that had been converted to a bike trail in 1993. The Wisconsin 400 State Trail runs from Reedsburg, WI to Elroy in the north following the course of the Baraboo River.

It's sunny this morning but it's been almost exclusively rainy and foggy for days. The mountain bike trails are muddy and closed until they dry out. That generally means until sometime in May.
