Wigwam in Color

This morning took a walk down to the piers at Holiday and Restawhile too see what color I was missing

Maple tree at the bottom of the steps

On a side note and a resort owner rant. I would like someone to explain to me why anyone sitting around a firepit at the resort with all the wood we have piled around the resort, would take an axe and cut down transplanted trees around Restawhile and throw them in a firepit and burn them. It happened this weekend and I am sure those out in blog land that enjoy the area and the resort will be as shocked as I was to see 5 trees by Restawhile wantonly butchered and burned. The individuals who did it are being made to call and apologize by their relatives. Anyone want to comment on this I will tell them to read the blog and they can see how their actions effect others enjoyment of the area and the resort

Response to chopping and burning the transplanted trees.

These ASSHOLES should not only be made to apologize, but…
– be made to pay for transplanting new trees
– never allowed at the resort EVER again
– never allowed in the northwoods EVER again
– if they are from WI, they should be required to move to IL and never be allowed cross the border into WI EVER again
– if they are from out-of-state, they should never be allowed to cross the border into WI EVER again

Holler if you need help transplanting new trees….and/or a bottle of wine.

Tell those jackasses that they ought to write individual apologies to all the people who stay in Restawhile during the year. That’s MY cabin and I want the trees back.
My dad spends his vacations chopping wood in the winter and in the summer to keep the resort stocked with wood. There is no excuse for such selfish behavior!
Jenny, next time the septics need to be dug up, I think you should call on a few idiotic tree cutters.

Wow!

All of the work you put into the resort and somebody is too lazy to go to the shed and get wood? Of course, one would think that it would take more effort to cut down trees than to borrow the wheelbarrow and haul it over there.

However, not everybody who is not from Wisconsin would consider doing what was done. There are actually some nice people who live in other states who would never do what was done, just as there are lousy souls who live in Wisconsin as well.

I do agree that they should have to physically do the work to fix what is broken, along wiht incurring the expense, and consideration of their welcomness in the future might be considered.

It never ceases to amaze me how many stupid idiots there are in the world today. I don’t know what people are thinking when they something as stupid as that. That is outright vandalism and should be treated as such.

How sad! How rude! How wrong! It takes years and years, even generations to grow trees, and a senseless act to destroy. The
guilty should be held accountable, even per their relatives. We thank you, and the many other folks who love and protect the aged beauty of the Northwoods, for being care takers of God’s creation.

The offenders should be ordered to perform LONG hours of community service spent transplanting trees all over the resort and all over Hazelhurst and surrounding towns; required to help elderly people in town take care of property upkeep; be required to take an environmental course or something similar; be required to pay restitution for all damages. If they don’t do all of the above, straight to jail until they do. Not simple jail time, no way. BTW, if colder weather sets in and the above can’t be performed until Spring, then I’d sure keep them busy with community service helping elderly and disabled children and adults all winter long until the Spring! SO sorry to hear about this.
