27. My wife has family in Iron River, and I loved fishing in Brule Lake when I visited.
It was in the Summer, of course. ;) My wife's aunt was the Principal at a local school for a long time. Happy to help. :dem: -Laelth

29. Really? PM me the names!
I work for the shelter in Iron River (we live in Milwaukee but love the people and the area enough that we go up there a couple times a year to deliver items for the shelter).
