2005 Horseshoe Lake Property Owners Association Annual Meeting Announced! - 8/8/05
Mark Reeves, Secretary – Treasurer of the Horseshoe Lake Property Owners Association
kindly passed along
the following document related to the 2005 Annual Meeting scheduled for
September 3, 2005: Adobe PDF
format
Microsoft Word format.
Here is an excerpt from the document:
... This is not just a meeting for folks on
“big” Horseshoe Lake – we all have
access to and use the entire Horseshoe Lake. Consequently, new members
are welcome and encouraged to attend. ...
An answer to the infamous question! - 8/11/03
On 7/2/01 I posed the question "will Camp Horseshoe for boys ever reopen?" Well, it seems that the answer to that question is an exciting "yes, but not in the location it originally stood". Fran and Jordan Shiner are opening a camp with the same name, built in the same image as the original, but located in Rhinelander, WI (about 125 miles ESE of Minong) rather than on the now residentially developed Northern shores of Little Horseshoe. Pop on over to http://www.camphorseshoe.com and/or read about this exciting topic at our forum to learn more! Who knows, perhaps we will be able to hear the laughter of the boys and the sound of the siren all the way from Rhinelander...
Summer Is Coming...(although I notice that the temp. is 28 deg. F in Hayward as I type this, brrr!) - 4/25/02
The fish house in the ULHC of the page is back in anticipation of a fun-filled summer.
(By the way have you ever noticed that the colors, images and some text on this site change based on the current
hour of the day at Horseshoe Lake? Visit again later today to see what we mean. The colors used on the
site are designed to mesh with the fish house photo to the upper-right (if you can't see it that should be because it is night, hence dark). View the entire day in the life of a fish house here...)
I have been very busy and therfore have not had the time to get to the "Lake Book"
like I had planned (it is scanned in but needs to be converted from images to text to facilitate future editing),
but I will do my best to get it done by the time the Annual meeting rolls around.
I have been collecting a miriad of neat postcards related to Minong that I hope to post soon as well, please
stay tuned...
The Camp Horseshoe Forum
has some interesting posts available for your reading pleasure - including a recent one regarding an ex-camper's desire
to open a camp in kind with the late, great Camp Horseshoe for Boys.
There is an interesting story referencing Horshoe Lake available here.
Happy November 15th! - 11/15/01
Well, I dont have a ton to report relative to "The Lake".
Our website colors are back,
we are going to leave the flag up to honor our soldiers and the good old U.S.A.
We received our first post to the
Camp Horseshoe Forum
recently. We also received and a nice note from Amy Sundland complimenting us on the website (thanks Amy!)
The scanning of the Horseshoe Lake book is coming along nicely. We hope to have the entire book online
by Christmas 2001.
Gang, I need news! And not just for the sake of the website, I have a biological need for news
regarding Horseshoe Lake! Email me with your news!
Don't make me install a webcam up there in Washburn Co!
More Sad News... - 9/12/01
Our thoughts go out to the
victims of the tragedy that took place in the U.S. on 9/11/2001, to their
families, and to the people living in the world that is forever changed. For
information on what we can all do to help, please click
here. I had planned to remove this site's black color this week, unfortunately, I am afraid that will not happen soon.
Sad News... - 8/2/01
We have just learned that we have lost one of the lake's most beloved and
respected residents. George Becherer passed away this week. A wake was held for
Mr. Becherer on the afternoon of Thursday, August 2nd, 2001. Our best wishes go
out to his wife, children, friends (no doubt each and every resident of Minong),
and family. In honor of Mr. Becherer, this site will remain black in color, and
will display an American flag until further notice.
Happy Fourth O' July! - 7/4/01

Welcome to the HorseshoeLake.org website Ver. 0.9. This is

Horseshoe Lake gets a domain name?!? - 10/17/00
Scary but true. HorshoeLake.org was registered today. I
figured if I am going to do this I might as well do it right. - Brent
