27 Jul
Another beautiful Wisconsin day! This morning Greg and I towed his boat to Moose Lake and fished for a few hours. The weather was amazing but a little breezy. Fishing was slow, in fact for the first 45 minutes or so we never got a bite. We relocated then withing 15 minutes we had caught five bluegills, but all too small to keep. Then nothing. We threw some lures at them, minnows, night crawlers - nada! We gave it our best shot, and then we trailered the boat and headed to Brian &Michele's Old Mill Bar & Grill in Phlox. Diane and Doreen did some more shopping in town and headed towards Phlox as we had made plans to have lunch there.
Phlox WI - In the Menominee language it is called Omāhkahkow-Menīkān which means "frog town" and it lies within ancestral Menominee territory which was ceded to the United States in the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars. From a 17 Jun 1921 Antigo Herald newspaper article we learned that in it's day, Phlox was home to a large planing and saw mill, a creamery, a cheese factory, Farmer's State Bank, a hardware store, an auto livery, a mercantile and other establishments. Today Phlox is an unincorporated community in the town of Norwood, Langlade County. Now you know!
We had a nice lunch there and then returned to Diane and Greg's in Antigo to park the trailer. After a visit there Doreen and I headed back to the campground and took care of a few chores. Later we walked Liberty through downtown Antigo and back.
That's it for today. Tomorrow we plan to have lunch with Greg and Diane and then make preparations for our departure.
