I'm wondering if there is anyone here from Northern Wisconsin. We are toying with the idea of moving. I know the Land O Lakes area very well as we spent our summers there when I was a kid. I miss it, but am not sure about living through those winters year 'round.
I also don't know what kind of job market is up there.
Anyone know anything?
Ann

Hi Ann-

I'm from southern Wisconsin, but we spend as much summer time as we can up
near Minocqua. As far as I can tell, it seems rough to make a go of it year
round in the northwoods. There just aren't that many jobs available. Of
course, I don't know what you're thinking of as far as jobs, but there aren't
a lot of either blue or white collar opportunties in many of those northern
counties. A lot of service work-tourist related. But hey, if it's your
dream, and you can make it work...more power to you. I personally think the
winters would be o.k. because it's just so darn beautiful and cozy and quiet.
Good luck to you.

Caro
