4 Comments on Gravity Trails Zip Lining Egg Harbor Door County, Wisconsin

I had an excellent experience zip-lining With Gravity Trails in Door County, Wisconsin. Our guides were amiable, helpful, and accommodating. Our guides helped us get into our harnesses and tightened the helmets on our heads for us. They showed my friends and me how to climb the 25 ft. climbing wall on our way to our zip-lining adventure. I was delighted that I could make it to the top of the climbing wall. I felt incredibly accomplished when I reached the top of the climbing wall.

I put my gloves on when I reached the top of the climbing wall. I watched two of my friends zip line across to the other side. It was now my turn to zip line to the other side.

I might scream and be nervous initially, but I was beautiful. I enjoyed zip line to the other side. I was thrilled with my experience of zip lining. The second zip line had a little more of a drop to it. On my third zip line, I was coming in very fast. I stopped before I made it to the platform. I was nervous and scared. My Guide reassured me that he would come out quickly and help me to the forum. My Guide Ben was powerful and got me to the platform soon. The last zip line had a dirt hill for a landing. I came to that landing spot on.

Gravity Trail zip line is beginner friendly. I had an excellent first-time experience with zip lining. Closed-toe shoes are required. There is a weight restriction of 225 pounds. All of the guides are certified and trained extensively. Their prices are very reasonable.

They have a gem mining area where you can see mine for fine gems. I was thrilled with my first-time zip-lining experience with Gravity Trails in Door County, Wisconsin.

My two guides, Ben and Justin, were excellent, polite, and friendly young men. I highly recommend zip ling with Gravity Trails to all my friends and family. Gravity Trails hosted my unique zip-lining experience.

2 Comments on Gordon Lodge Located in Door County Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin

I loved my vacation stay at Gordon Lodge in Door County, Wisconsin.

Our cabin that we stayed in looked directly out at Lake Michigan. Gordon Lodge is nestled on a Peninsula between North Bay and Lake Michigan. Gordon Lodge has Lodge rooms, cottages, and suites. The site is located on 130 beautiful acres. It is very relaxing and tranquil there. They have had guests for over eighty years. We had a spectacular view every morning. I enjoyed looking at the Canadian Geese in the morning. The flowers on the property were beautiful. I enjoyed walking around the Lodge in the morning and evening. A site is an excellent place for weddings and receptions to be held.

I was very impressed with the size of the rooms. All of the rooms in the cottage were well-appointed. The kitchen area had a microwave, refrigerator, dishes, and glasses. I stayed in the house with a friend. My friend’s bedroom had two double beds. My bedroom had a king-size bed and a bathroom connected to the bedroom. The bedrooms had beautiful lighting. I wouldn’t say I like rooms with hardly any lights. We had two bathrooms in our cottage. My bathroom had a wonderfully clean, modern walk-in shower. The other bathroom had a tub and shower combination. The bathrooms were spotless. We had plenty of spare towels in our bathrooms. The Living Room had a couch and a wicker chair to sit on. We had a lovely fireplace in the Living Room with a TV above the fireplace.

I was very impressed with the activities that Gordon Lodge had to offer. They have a good size heated swimming pool and a hot tub. The Lodge has a fitness center, hiking trails, a tennis court, bicycles, and water activities. One could be pleased and entertained by staying at Gordon Lodge for the entire vacation.

I was also very impressed with their morning breakfast buffet. I had scrambled eggs with feta cheese, bacon, fresh fruit, potatoes, and potato pancakes.

They also had orange juice and coffee. To end my breakfast, I tried some of their pastries. I loved their cherry and almond-flavored pie. Our hostess was bright and welcoming every morning.

I loved the peace and tranquility that I found at Gordon Lodge. I had an excellent, quiet, relaxing evening with my friend at Gordon Lodge. The sunsets at Gordon Lodge are spectacular.

I loved walking around their property in the evenings and taking pictures of the incredible sunsets.

I would highly recommend staying at Gordon Lodge to my family and friends. I had a wonderful, relaxing, and tranquil stay at Gordon Lodge. Gordon Lodge hosted my visit with them. When I go to Door County, Wisconsin again, I will stay at Gordon Lodge.

How to Treat Your Cats Diarrhea

2 Comments on How to Treat Your Cats Diarrhea

An upset digestive system can cause diarrhea, especially in younger cats. Take their food away for one to two days to see if their diarrhea disappears. Never take away their water because they need water to replace fluids lost by having diarrhea. Diarrhea causes one to become dehydrated quickly. Put out fresh water for your cat every day. A dry cat can die.

Changing brands of cat food can cause diarrhea. Overeating foods can cause diarrhea. A cat that eats raw or rotten meat can get diarrhea. Too much milk in your cat’s diet can cause diarrhea.

A relocated cat can get diarrhea from the stress of being relocated. Worms can cause severe diarrhea in cats.

Feeding your cat white rice with a bit of butter can help relieve your cat’s diarrhea. Canned pumpkin also will help your cat with getting over diarrhea. Your vet sells exceptional canned, dry cat food formulated especially for cats with diarrhea. I have fed my cat canned food for diarrhea, which helped considerably. Your vet also sells pills that will help relieve your cat’s diarrhea. I gave these pills to my cats, which were entirely cured in five days.

The only times my cats have gotten diarrhea is either from worms or being relocated.

I try to keep all of my cats wormed regularly. Do not change foods suddenly, as this can cause digestive issues.

If your cat seems lazy and is not improving, bring him to your vet ASAP.

I hope your cat never develops any digestive issues.

It has been proven that owning a pet helps lower your blood pressure. People that own pets tend to live longer. Cats are an excellent company. Cats are good listeners and never talk back to you.

Cats are good mousers. Cats can catch and kill rabbits that eat away in your garden. Some of my cats have even killed a rat outdoors. Some cats and dogs become the best of friends.

Kittens are so much fun to watch. It is fun to watch them play with their mother’s tails. Watching them pounce on leaves that fly around in the wind is fun. A kitten’s curiosity is boundless. Kittens will give you many hours of enjoyment.

Watching your cat throw toy mice up in the air and catch them is a joy. I like to watch my cats chase after balls. My cats love to cuddle with their catnip toys from LoopiesToys.Com.

I gave Addy about five small broken-up pieces to eat. That day, Russ, Lorenzo, Cali, Bella, Peter, and Snowflake enjoyed these excellent beef treats.

The next day I gave Bella two large pieces that she had eaten. I gave Snowflake two articles in the little hammock she was napping in. Nicole ate three pieces. Addy had plenty of treats to eat that day. Naturally, Lorenzo and Russ also ate their fair share of treats that day.

I gave Dr. Tim’s Premium Natural Beef Chips for Cats and Dogs from Chewy.Com to Kohl and Garfunkel; they loved them.

5 Comments on Kinney Pioneer Museum located in Mason City, Iowa

I have always loved history. I went to the Kinney Pioneer Museum as a young child. I have enjoyed the rich history of North Iowa that the Kinney Pioneer Museum has on display. The articles tell the story of North Iowa from the very beginning. I was a tour guide at the museum for eight years. I was president of the museum for two years.

The museum has beautiful fossils, shells, and Indian relics. The arrowheads at the museum are mostly Sioux and Winnebago and were collected in this area.

The museum has some early pioneer items that go back 100 years or more. They have a large bear trap on display. It takes two men to set this large trap. The Doris Markley estate gave the museum a fantastic bedroom set. The Markleys were one of the pioneer families of early Mason City. In the dining room, a set of Wedgewood china is brought to this area by oxcart. The kitchen has an icebox, a coal-burning stove, a spice chest, and many more exciting items.

A doctor’s office display came from Dr. Edward Kennedy that once practiced in Swaledale, Iowa. The dentist equipment came from a dentist that practiced dentistry in Clear Lake in about 1898. There are many early dentistry tools to look at.

There are early shortwave radios, phonographs, and musical instruments on display. One of the violins is about 300 years old. They have many dolls on display. Many are dated dolls that go back as far as 1850. There are many old iron toys to look at.

They have many obsolete agricultural tools that the early pioneers used. They have hand corn shellers and woodworking tools, etc.

I love to look at the many cars on display. I especially love the old Colby car manufactured in Mason City, Iowa, from 1911 to 1914. It is the last Colby car left of 900 made. I love looking at the old buggy, dairy wagons, fire engines, farm equipment, etc.

They have a grand old school with old school books, a jail, a blacksmith shop with tools, and an old log cabin with items they used at that time.

The museum has Harry’s Sweet Shop and an old Country Store display. Harry’s Sweet Shop was in Mason City, Iowa. They have items from Decker’s Meat packing plant that once operated in Mason City, Iowa.

The Kinney Pioneer Museum has many special events throughout the year. The special events are as follows:

Conestoga Cookout Vintage Car Day Ice Cream Social Kids Day Cider & Donut Day

The museum is open from May thru Sept. from 1 to 5 PM. or by appointment. Admission is $2.50 for adults and .50 cents for children.

The Kinney Pioneers Museum has many more beautiful displays to look at. I would highly recommend going to this beautiful museum. They have a wonderful collection of early North Iowa history.

How to Cage Your Cat and Cages for Transportation Travel

How to Cage Your Cat and Cages for Transporatation

2 Comments on How to Cage Your Cat and Cages for Transporatation

I buy a cage according to my cat’s willingness to enter the cell. Some cats will put up a horrible fuss when you are trying to put them in a cage.

I have bought a cloth bag for transporting my cats. The cloth bags work fine for a well-behaved cat. My cat Sebastian figured out how to unzip the cloth bag. The zippers seem to wear out quickly on the cloth bags.

Cages with a small door work fine for cats that do not mind going in and out of cells. Temperamental cats will put their foot in the way of the door, and it is about impossible to get them out of the small door.

I have several homemade cages that work well. They are made out of plywood. The wooden cells have a lot of holes drilled in them for ventilation. They also have hinges and hooks for securing your cat during transportation.

My favorite cage is medium-sized. The pen has a large frontal opening. The pen also has a door on top of the cell. The door on the top is the entire length of the cell. It is straightforward to get cats in and out of this cage.

I put the pen up on the end for cats that do not like cages with the door wide open. I then pick my cat up by the nape of his neck, put the back legs in first, and close the cage door quickly. Sometimes I put some tuna in a cage, and he walks right in and eats his tuna. He will think that when I enter a pen, I will get a nice reward and be more accessible the next time you want to transport him.

When transporting my cats, I always line the cage with paper towels or newspapers. This will make cage clean-up easy when you return home with your cat.

Happy travels to you and your cat.

I had a wonderful visit with Betsy Leigh Kirby and Jenny Doughty. Betsy was a wonderful hostess.

Betsy made a wonderful egg muffin bake recipe based on the recipe from Clinton Kelly. She added some extra eggs and cheese. They were awesome egg muffins. They had a wonderful texture and taste.

I tried the coffee from Jitters in Mason City, Iowa. Their coffee had an excellent mild, and pleasant taste. I also tried the coffee from Cabin Coffee in Mason City, Iowa. It had a robust and fantastic taste. Cabin coffee grinds all of its coffee on-site. I have been going to Cabin Coffee since they first opened. I enjoy the atmosphere and how they have it decorated.

Coffee Cat in Mason City, Iowa, gave us beautiful treats to sample. She bakes these marvelous healthy treats at her coffee shop. I love her coffee. It has a robust and pleasant taste. She sells pottery and paintings from local North Iowa artists. I have purchased the honey that she sells in her shop, which is excellent. She has book signings from North Iowa writers. She has people come to her shop and play music at night. It is good music in a relaxing atmosphere. The name of the business is now Three On The Tree.

I love visiting these coffee shops in Mason City, Iowa, with friends. These coffee shops are excellent places to stay with friends, relax, and enjoy a refreshing day. I like their Frappes and Lattes and Cappuccinos. I want a Cappuccino with dry foam and caramel on top of the foam. I also like caramel Frappes. I like hazelnut and caramel Lattes.

I highly recommend all these beautiful coffee shops in Mason City, Iowa.

Thank you, Betsy, for a beautiful morning and for serving us the excellent coffee and treats and your perfect egg muffin bake.

My cat Snowflake does not have many teeth. She is sixteen years old. She found Hills Crafted Savory Chicken Pot Pie with Buckwheat from Chewy.Com easy to eat.

Addy always greets me at the door and is pleased to have a can of Hills Crafted Savory Chicken Pot Pie with Buckwheat to eat.
