23 and 20, he said, it's an old pictures before I got married. We've been
keep talking about updating that.
Now you will.
Yeah, now we're in trouble.
One second.
Alright, good.
Kyle, where would you like to start?
I don't know.
We have to stop here. That's my great-grandmother over here.
Okay.
And my dad and his family was all here.
So I don't know that. And then that's all the generations there in that picture there.
Alright.
Let's start with the...
Hold on a second.
There you go.
Okay.
So who do we have here?
This is my great-grandma, Anna, who started the resort.
And it was doing that. And then this is my father and his parents and the rest of his
brothers and sisters in the photo there.
The one that looks just like him. Right there in the middle.
Sitting on my grandfather's lap.
That was a big, big trip for kids.
It's a big trip.
That's Bob. He doesn't know better.
So, this is kind of the...
These are the generations photo here.
So this is all five generations, if you look at that, with my great-grandparents, my grandparents,
my parents, and then my boys and I.
And, like I said, dated photo.
But what's the significance of making sure? This is the entry.
This is where people can walk through the sea.
Yeah.
Well, you know, I think one of the things for us is it's the importance of having a family
run business that's up here.
You know, there's not many around.
That is, you know, really a five generation business.
And so we want to obviously recognize that and put, you know, some of the historic things that we have here,
you know, from the different photos and stuff through the years, some of the old brochures.
We did something here. I don't know if it's going to show up or not.
But my great-grandfather printed this book back when he was running the resort
and it says, what I know about fishing in here.
And my father and I, and his parents, all of them, so we got all four generations on here.
We wrote a book at our 100 year anniversary.
And if you open it up, it's just blank note pages for taking notes on.
There's just nothing written in it.
But we just kind of carried that through again for our 100 year anniversary.
And we'll probably do something else, but we took the same photo.
We took everything and just carried on that tradition because again, you know,
really five generations. It's just, it's not very, it doesn't happen very often,
especially in this industry.
You know, and through here, we've got the different brochures and stuff that they've done through the years.
We have one of the original brochures that is here from 1919 and talks about it.
Some of the old business cards that we had with a two digit telephone number.
You know, there's just some really neat historical stuff that we've had through the years.
So, well, I got you.
Yes.
Don't need it.
They took off the request on there, so I don't know if they use the, the past quarter or whatever,
and they use that.
So, so you don't have to worry about it.
We have to go.
We don't have to worry about it. We got it on film too.
Okay.
Good, good, good, good. All right.
All right.
You got all the old stuff here?
Yeah.
Good.
That's good.
What's up?
Are you filming it?
Oh, you can go.
They don't want you on film, Bob.
Hey, Kathy.
So, um, I don't know.
I'm trying to think we're, we have a copy.
Just give me a second here.
I'll look and see.
Team bro, sure.
And in there, we had a list of the rates and it has things like no, you know,
no walking indoors with spiked boots and or in the wood boats with spiked boots on.
Um, you know, just a bunch of different things.
You know, don't leave your, you know, your fish cleaning and stuff outside.
You know, for the animals, you know, dispose of them properly.
You know, all the stuff they went on.
And even my grandfather here, Hans, his hand, uh, his hand written sign that we had down
in our marina, uh, where we had our fish cleaning house that we pulled that out of the marina
when we remodeled it back in the, in the nineties.
And that was this hand written sign that had been up there since, I don't know,
probably sometime in the forties or earlier.
So just some, you know, there's some neat stuff about having a multi-generational business.
So there probably was no indoor plumbing or electricity when this started?
Um, no.
When it first started, there was no, there was no electricity.
There was a series of buildings and they'll see them in the photos that we have that was,
you know, at that time there was a dining hall, then there was a cook house,
and then you had your sleeping cabins.
Everything was separate.
You know, you had your chicken coop here and everything else because obviously,
you know, there's no electricity and everything.
You had to, either it was, you know, dried goods or it was something that was fresh.
And that's probably why the hunting and fishing was such an important part because you could catch something fresh
and have something to serve to your guests.
And it was the train from most people, right?
The train, yep. Everybody came up by train and then, um,
my great grandmother would load up and they'd take the horse and carriage into cable,
pick up the, pick up the people on the train and then drive them back out.
It was, you know, most of a day trip.
You know, across the old corduroy roads where they had the logs laid down across the swamps
and you imagine rattling themselves across those things to, you know, to get back and forth.
It was probably quite a trip for somebody coming from Chicago.
Yeah.
Imagine people complain about the road not being perfectly smooth.
Yeah, now they can play it about the roads too.
I imagine what they could play it about that.
I guess it's never going to change. It's just one of those things, you know?
A little bit of human nature, right?
Yeah.
Tom, did you say you were able to find some of the...
I'll send them to you.
Okay.
What I'll do is I'll just send you electronic copies of them.
Okay.
You know, like some of these that you see up there.
There's, you know, some different ones in there.
Um, I don't know if you want to take any pictures.
This is some of the recognition we got at our 100-year anniversary, um, from the state and other ones.
Um, what's going on in the bar?
It hasn't show up that string in a long line.
It was hanging up there, so we must have knocked it off of there.
But, uh, you know, some of those stringers that they had through the years.
But, uh, this is the one, my grandparents in it, right there.
Oh, one second.
Yeah.
Right here, right?
Yeah, so this is the picture I wanted to show you.
My, with my grandparents in there holding their stringer a walleye.
Um, there's going to be some other photos, the actual photos.
This is, of course, a mural.
A lot of these are actual pictures that were taken through the years that were, um, were put onto a mural.
And, uh, in there for us.
So there's some really neat, uh, photos, um, canoe in our front pond with the different stringers that we have through all the generations.
I guess, you know, all my, my parents and my wife and I are going to have to get our stringers to hold up our, our walleye and the pictures, too, when we've been out fishing.
So, was there an actual wooden slide?
There was that, uh, that picture was probably taken in 1919.
And that's my, that's my grandmother here.
And my great uncle Paul, um, in the picture.
So, um, we were probably figured about 1920s, something like that.
Sometime in there that, that photo was taken and, and it was just a slide down.
So, yeah, Wisconsin's original water park, I guess.
Eat your heart up down.
Yeah.
And we're all guest greeted with the next?
Well, you know, I guess so.
That's, again, that's my, uh, my grandmother there and my great grandparents, um, in the picture.
Uh, at the, at the, what we call our old entrance at the, at the resort.
So, you can see some of the cabins we had at the time in the background.
Great.
Yep.
And, uh, that's the original, the original lodge up there.
That's what the building looked like after it was remodeled and added on to seven different times.
And, uh, it was struck by lightning and burned down, had the wire and pole wiring in there.
It started, like they said, like seven different fires up in the attic and they just weren't able to put it out.
So.
And then remodeled for the middle one and then the one over there on the far side that we replaced in 86.
So, all those, all things.
So it's kind of like the whole history up there.
My great grandparents, my grandparents, what happened through there.
It's my uncle's scheme.
That's a bunch of the old guests there.
Other ones that are up in there.
Some of the snowmobiling when that came in and then I'm way over there on the far right water skiing.
That is you?
So, yeah.
So, that's the culmination that we've been so far.
I guess we're going to have to put another panel up there.
Yeah.
That's the whole bridge.
Yeah, that's the whole bridge.
I think that's good.
Alright.
Fantastic.
We'll grab the mic back from you.
It's like my brothers that went on the top right.
It was the first fish that I brought out here.
We're all fishing.
My dad baits his hook with a worm.
You know, on a bobber with a fish on his hook.
We bet.
Throws it over for him.
You know, he's probably, I don't know.
I don't know.
So, it seems like that.
We've got the snoochiness on the wheels.
It's a little thick of water.
Yeah.
Not that it's huge or anything, but I mean,
people will stare.
But I'll have to start here.
Who's for all of the better?
Yeah.
A lot of moths that are out here.
Some of the older ones went right in and then right in there.
Well, these were all of them.
And since then, we've got two fighters.
Some of the longest things and others.
I get those pictures and look out there and see.
Those are all moths and stuff.
So, we ended up actually getting something new.
So, we ate two hundreds.
And we never knew we were interested.
In fact, we've got that human being because of all the people.
And we certainly ended up with all of the dust,
and some of the actors were doing a lot of years.
And we had a lot of people.
We had a lot of people.
I'm going to have them do a while I breakfast a while I sandwich and then our baked while
I fry their dinner.
They'll need to fry everything.
There's pan-fried, deep-fried, and dicks, are we able to get in to see some of that?
Um, Pat.
You're like, we're going to go over here.
I always think they're going to come in the kitchen, guys.
I'm just wondering if they're going to take some pictures of the food.
You know, if anything you might be able to get, like if you just do like an arms or something,
do a close shot on there, like do in the pan-fried walleye for the breakfast.
It's about the only thing you could get able to get.
Sure.
Yeah, no.
It's not good.
Yeah.
It's good.
Yeah.
It's good.
Thank you.
Thanks, Dan.
Bye.
I'm also going to get the astronaut's product.
He's on my side here.
Yeah.
I'm straight.
He has smoke in New York.
He's there.
How long have you been working here?
I just crossed over three.
Oh, wow.
That's awesome.
Cool.
Do you want to get in the front area?
No.
That's fine.
You're ready.
I should go out and sell some of those.
Oh, my gosh.
I've got it.
Okay.
I've got some fun for us.
I...
We're working.
We need to flip over.
We need to flip.
We need to flip over.
I'm going to take a little bit of water and I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit of water and then I'm going to take a little bit

Okay.
Now we're just going to volunteer for you.
All right.
Then we're starting to be tomorrow, all right?
I've got to watch my turn.
Awesome. Thank you.
Awesome.
All right. Let me start as soon as she comes.
I feel like we've already taken each of this.
Thanks, guys.
You're welcome.
I appreciate it so much.
I know it's awkward.
It's the most unnatural thing to have.
It looks like you've ordered in a restaurant before.
Let's keep it there for a second and get some shots of it.
Close up, buddy.
Yeah, that's fine.
I can't leave down here.
Thank you so much.
I don't know what we're supposed to do.
We asked PC to just eat it, so I don't know any more about it.
I don't know what we're giving it away to people, but I don't want to throw it in the trash.
All right.
You have the first choice so much that I like.
You can't.
No, it's good.
That's why we did the story.
Yeah.
That's one of the best items on the menu.
The other favorite one is walleye pecada.
That's with the women butter, caper sauce.
And then the walleye is pan-fried.
But walleye is the favorite.
Yeah.
You decide wherever you'd like to sit.
I can sort that.
I can bring you something in a drink to go over here.
Wow.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate you.
I'm sure.
Thanks.
Good boy.
That's funny.
You like that one?
Oh, there's like three of them here, guys.
I'm just going to get a couple more shots over there.
Yeah.
Well, we have them here.
Yeah.
Get some beauty shots, you know?
There you go.
I thought you were pulling me in.
No worries.
I didn't know you were pulling me in.
No, I'm backing off.
I try not to get anybody in the shot.
It's just close up to the hands.
Okay.
And stuff.
My dirt and my dishwasher hands.
There you go.
No, you pull my video.
It's going to turn the park a little bit more.
Okay.
It's going to be a little worse.
Hey, hey.
You can't mess other than none.
It's getting small.
Right.
It's going down here a little bit.
Yeah.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
You see that one motel?
The road there?
Okay.
The bathroom library.
That burned down years ago.
It was not burned down, but it had fire in it.
Oh, geez.
Yeah.
Instead of like a fence line on it.
I haven't been there for years.
So, you're supposed to do something better.
I don't know.
A dentist on one corner.
And it was like another restaurant on the other corner here.
Getting there.
It married to me.
Hi.
