I have vacation property in Oconto County, DMU 49A. It has always been my plan to move up there eventually, living as I do (currently) in SE Wisconsin.
It seems that people that come “up north” on the weekends today are no longer interested in the quiet and serenity of the Wisconsin north woods. I have noticed an increasing amount of loud, late-night partying, blasting off fireworks and firecrackers at all hours of the night, and just general all-around mayhem in the north. It’s turned into a free-for-all. My place in SE Wisconsin is FAR quieter and more peaceful than the north, and I find that very sad.
Case in point was this past weekend. Thinking it was going to rain all day Saturday, it seemed like the ideal weekend to go up to the cabin, listen to the Brewers and the Packers on the radio, and sit on the screen porch and smoke fine cigars. Unfortunately my neighbors to the east decided to blast off firecrackers all evening, even late into the night. Somebody to the west was blasting off SERIOUS firecrackers, like M-80s. Then, on the way home, a pick-up truck was tailgating me (even though I was rolling along at quite a brisk pace). They blasted past me and then threw beer bottles out the window.
Do you have to have a large tract of land in order to get any peace and quiet up there?
Is it like this everywhere up north or is this phenomenon just by me?
Perhaps this just bothers me more than it does most folks?
