Kicked off our extended Fourth of July celebration Friday. As usual, it was good times in the area.
FRIDAY
No boating today, but did hit two places on the Chain Crawl and had our passports stamped. Met Kevin and Kelly, who are also on the Crawl, at the Lagoon Lounge on US-12 in Fox Lake for a couple three beers. It shares the lagoon with McDonald's.
Then, we actually found that the NAC (National Athletic Club) on Fox Lake was open and we high-tailed it over there for a couple more. They have been closed the last six times we've wanted to go. It is a private club and only open sometimes. It goes way back, being founded in the 1880s.
Then to the usual Friday spots, Stormy Monday on Fox Lake and the American Legion on Nippersink Lake.
SATURDAY
Drove to Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, about ten miles away, and enjoyed Ultimate Bloody Marys at Main Street and watched the 4th of July parade outside the place. Then to Donovan's Reef and ended up at the Wilmot Riverside Bar and Grill. We haven't been back but once since Dave and Mar sold it a couple years ago. It used to be Mar's Trading Post Inn and the foundation of the place goes back to the 1840s when it actually was a trading post.
SUNDAY
Drove over to McCullon Lake to All Sports Bar and had one of the best pizzas around for $5 and $5 pitchers of Miller Lite. Then to Captain's Quarters on Fox Lake for the Average Joe Band outside. Met our friends from Crabapple Island.
