Oh my gosh guys, you are funny. The mud ducks aren't tourists, they are invaders that will drive 90 mph with atvs in the box of their truck and pulling a boat behind them. They will run you off the road. Don't try navigating hwy 8 on Friday evening or anytime Sunday.
We have lake Wapogasset here in Amery and I bet over 50 percent of the houses are actually cabins for people from the Twin Cities. The property taxes are astronomical! My father in law owned a tiny, run down house on a small lot and payed over $6,000 a year (10 yrs ago). Then he sold the house for over $300,000! It kind of sucks, because that whole township has high taxes, whether you live on the lake or not. I'm not real sure where all of the money goes.
