We visited Oswalds Bear Ranch in Newberry, MI today. Oswalds is a bear rescue serving most of the North Woods. They have 39 bears in their shelter including 3 cubs. We walked the outer perimeter of the adult male habitat – a little over a ½ mile. The bears were delighted to receive apples tossed over the tops of the 10’ fences. Petting a bear cub really is a bucket-list item! The cubs are surprisingly soft compared to bear skins we’ve handled in the past. Kelly could have stayed here for hours just watching the bears. She was throwing apples to the underdog bears, old or smaller, that were being chased away by the more dominant bears in the group. Good sport!
We ended an evening of driving at Kreher RV Park in Ashland, WI. This is a cute, 50 slot RV park located in the middle of the little town of Ashland right on the shores of Chequomegon Bay. It’s a surprisingly quiet little park with a shower, steps from breakfast bacon we don’t have to cook ourselves!
