Boating on Big Lake Chetac

For us, some of our greatest joys involve traveling, taking pictures of our travels, and writing about those things, so that we may share with others our thoughts about those travels and experiences. It’s all about the sights, the sounds, the smells, and the tastes of the places we visit. And so, the Blog Articles here at Get North! are all about our adventures in and around Rice Lake, Wisconsin and the surrounding environs/Northwoods.

We hope you like what you read and are perhaps able to compare your own travels and experiences. And we encourage you to Get North and have some memorable adventures of your own!
