Tom Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Yes sir-e. Here was one of my orders: IMG_0312.PNG IMG_0199.JPGHoly ! Did you need a permit to blow all of this off? I bet you were the King of the neighborhood. Btw, how many orders did you get?? Lol...I'm coming to your show next year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianJK Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Haha, I told you a while back that my passion for fireworks rivals my love of snowstorms lol. Yes, permit is required although I doubt many obtain one. That was my main order, then I usually make a couple extra pickups whenever I make trips up there. I prepare months in advance and do it all by remote control now - makes for a much more enjoyable experience. The last few years have been picture perfect weather-wise. When was the last time you were up north? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been years since I have been up north where you go. I normally head towards Castle Rock Lake area. I'd love to go on a fishing trip when the bite picks up later in the year towards early Autumn.

Fireworks are sold across nearly the entire state of Wisconsin, but permits are required to set them off. However, the state leaves it up to local municipalities as to whether or not they want to enforce it. I've been going up to Eagle River, WI for 30 years and everyone has their fun on the 4th - some (myself) more than others. In order to put on a show of that magnitude, I have to buy wholesale direct. Now that I do, I can never go back to retail. And I totally get what you mean about the smuggling part. I remember long ago crossing over the Indiana border and going to Sheltons and coming back with a trunk load. It was always such a relief once you made it back home, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, Eagle River is such a beautiful place to experience the outdoors. I'm itching to go back sometime soon. My friend said he would want to go Muskey fishing later in the season.

Not sure when Sheltons started up but I don't remember seeing anything along the x-ways back in '90 when I drove via 94 out to Wyoming and found them for sale. Pretty certain I would not have bothered if they were available right across the state line in Indiana. And when I moved to S. Bend 20 yrs ago I'm not sure they were readily available then? Going back (pre-1990) you had to go to like TN to find them, at least for year-round outlets. I think March of '78 was the first time I bought in TN coming home from FL with my folks. Back then, even Class C was really potent stuff. A single firecracker could shred a hand. They passed that "max load" import law and fewer maimed people resulted.

Niko Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Gorgeous evening on tap here in SEMI. Wow, for this time of the year, its a given. Currently clear skies, RH @ 35%, DP @ 51F and air Temp @ 72F and dropping into the 50s overnight. A night to let mother nature bring in some fresh air. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

Tom Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'm off to do my Sun morning 4mi hike. Current temp 92F with a 62F DP! Thankfully, it's a bit overcast. Highest DP's of the season out here so far. Many storms formed over the northern and southern valley. Hope I can score some today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could have been there doing the same! How does the saying go, "A picture is worth a thousand words?" That is an experience of a lifetime. Much better than my hike this morning of a new PR 5.5 miles with a temp 98F and 62F DP! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's not too pleasant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's not too pleasant.Getting off trail could be a bit scary, esp in the mountainous terrain, unless it was planned of course. Monsoon season over here can get pretty humid. The high temps lower into the low/mid 100's but you get the humidity. I actually don't mind the more humid airmass. It's a change in the weather that excites me over here, esp when its been bone dry and hot for the entire month of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew where we had to go, but it wasn't following the trail. I wouldn't say we were lost, just misguided. As long as one has a map, compass, and coordinates one can get out of most things. I was more worried about falling into a buried stream. You know how people say dry heat is better? I've always thought the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how people say dry heat is better? I've always thought the opposite. Dry heat is indeed better for those who suffer from arthritis or bone/joint problems. Many who come here experience a better way of life due to the dry heat. However, don't let it fool you, it still is D**n hot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
