Flat Lake Natural Gas Loop (edited
7/16)
This is a call for interest in
establishing a natural gas main loop
under Flat Lake, with access either down
Purinton Road or from the north shore
through Lloyd's Pond (Rootbeer or No
Wake Lake). If you'd like to see this
happen (it was first proposed six years
ago), call or contact ENSTAR at the
address below. If you know more
information we should publish here, such
as why the earlier proposal failed, send
me an email
here.
Address your interest in the Flat Lake
Natural Gas Loop to:

Black bear, north shore, Flat Lake
6/25/08 - LT
Keep your cabin clean and doors
secure!
See the black bear video
here.
6/8/08 - Had a report from my son
that there was a black bear and cubs on
my deck this morning. North Shore
between Bailey's and Von Hoomison's.
Didn't break in but came up to the door.

6/8/08 - Same bears visited Greg,
Wendy, and Ryan Gursey's cabin
(Oswald's) as well. Keep your garbage
tidy. In a few more weeks they'll head
down to the streams to go fishing. - LT
6/9/08 - Same bear pried
up the lid of our metal garbage can last
week. We reinforced the lid and have not
had a reoccurrence. - Larry Taylor
6/18/08 - I got a
surprise on Wednesday when I heard
clomping on the deck and looked up to
see the bear walking across it. I yelled
"bear," and it ran off the deck
and through the woods. Amazingly, both
of my visiting sisters got to see it
running away. It's good that it ran. US
Fish and Wildlife biologists say to make
sure to let bears know that they are not
welcome around cabins; make a lot of
noise and scare them. - Larry Taylor
Hi
I have an oil stove that works with a 55
gallon tank free. It is on Flat Lake. If
anyone is interested call 230 -1904.
Thanks
