how thick is the ice on the lake?
BEATIFUL UP NORTH! WISH I WAS THERE!!
Great Pictures. I see we have a new view.
Thanks for putting up these cameras! I love looking and seeing what’s going on with the lake!
Love to see these pics to see snow/ weather in Wabeno area.
Thank you❣
Please forgive me, I have been working on the camera problem, I bought new ones, etc.
I think the problem may be with the very high snow between here and Trump Lake.
I rebooted everything and still no update. Our internet is very slow up here, that may be the problem: 1.5
It has everything to do with the snow. Wi-Fi signals don’t travel far though a high moisture content barrier. Once we get a good bit of spring thaw they should start working again. So, sometime in June I think.
I am sure that most of you that live up here know how temperamental the lake can be. Well, I learned my lesson today. When you see no one on the lake there usually is a good reason. I went snow shoeing on the lake today and found a lot of soft ice where I feel through up to my knees. Ended up having to crawl back to shore as every time I tried to get up I would go through again. I am fine and although I received a good cardio workout I think I don’t want to do that again.
Camera update: I have received three new cameras. I had to bring them to GB to have them set up for the internet. I wanted to put them inside where I had the originals, but at night they reflect off the glass. Once I get the first one perfected, I will get them on line one a a time. Right now I have Cam 3 on our lower veranda temporarily.
Every year I build a 20 foot icicle two weeks before the Fish-O-Ree. I will put one new camera, up just for the icicle and turkeys and other birds and foxes, etc.
Thanks Jerry, can’t wait to see them.
Camera update……camera #3 failed. I just bought three new latest and greatest. They will be here this week. If all goes well and the weatherman behaves, you will be happy with the new cameras.
Good news ! Packerland broadband is coming to Trump Lake. A representative will be available for questions and to sign up for this service at the Walleye fundraiser.You can also go to their web page to sign up. They hope to start digging in August!!!
I had posted on here about 3 years ago looking for an internet service at are place on the lake that could be turned off for 6 months of the year like our Dish service can be. Anything new arrive in wabeno that I didn’t hear about??? Or even different TV service as Dish keeps going up…
Thanks Andy
Hello Andy, I was hoping someone would give an update answer. All I know is that CenturyLink is installing all new fiber optic cable right now and that Packerland Cable is coming to Trump Lake. If someone else knows more , please post.
Weather look great up there at the Lake……85 degrees here in VA today
Jerry, don’t put the snow shovels up yet.
Hello Uncle Jerry and Aunt Carol,
Love these snapshots of the lake. Brrrrr….it looks cold! Hope you are all doing well.
Hugs from,
Sue
I always build a 20 foot icicle before the Fish-O-Ree. I run a quarter inch tube up a tree in front and run water 24/7 for two weeks.
JD, and I only guessed at the hose…pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
Ron
A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YOU FOLKS OUT THERE AT TRUMP LAKE.
NO SNOW OUT HERE IN VIRGINA.
I have replaced three lake cameras with Foscam F19803P Outdoor Wireless IP Cameras. They have higher resolution and will show up to 65 feet in the dark. In case you forgot, you can see them at: http://www.trumplake.org
I must thank Greg Tice for setting them up for me.
O.K. Went for a walk today and saw trucks,people and snowmobiles on the lake. Hmm, today my dog and I start our diet!
LMAO– for sure I will not be on the ice!!
Well we went for a walk on the lake yesterday and to our surprise in spots where we walked under our feet we could hear a kind of drumming and than ice cracking. It even happened when our dog was rolling in the snow. Unless I feel like speed walking I don’t think I will do anymore walking on the lake. Being at the lake has been very relaxing.
Jerry: I see it looks like winter up there…..No snow here in Virginia….Been cold and getting ready of
Christmas……Here is hoping GB win the game today ….. You folks have a great holiday…..
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your site. It keeps me informed as to what the area looks like at any given time. We have cottages up there and I love the area so I truly enjoy seeing the lake whenever I’d like when I don’t have the good fortune to be up there. Thank you
Hey Kris– great party yesterday! Thanks for letting us crash it!
Happy New Year
Mary
It was great to see you! Can’t wait to see you again. Kris
Hi, Jerry! Setsuko and I returned to Osaka/Nara, Japan safely. The visit to the lake was awesome. It was really nice to meet you during our visit. We will keep watching the lake through the WEBCAM.
Thanks Hiro, I am the only one on Trump Lake that had 2 (two) Hiros across the street. The other one was Hiro Nakashima. He has two very fine restaurants in the valley. Everyone reading this should dine at “Nakashima of Japan” when in Appleton or Green Bay.
Dennis Schmidt and Jerry Meyers watching Jerry’s grandsons fishing on Trump Lake today from sunny, but cool Florida
How’s the ice currently?
how thick is the ice?
Saturday 1/2/2016, there were 4 people ice fishing in the middle of this end. Here is the answer I just received from a gentleman on the other end of Trump Lake: “it was unsafe Saturday over here I’m not going out to check it yet lol”
12/21/2015 Great to finally see some ice.
We will be up this weekend to put the dock in. Thank You for the pictures to see the ice is out. Thanks EARL
Hello All:
We’d like to get internet service or dish TV for our place on the lake. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Jill
262-8nine-three-one7zerofive
We just got dish network for TV. Must have 2-year contract which is ok, but the good part is you can turn it off for up to 6 months of the year. We only go up in summers, so this helps. Be aware though, the 2 year contract is 24 months of “on” so it s really like a 4 year contract. They also offer internet, but it was like $50 a month and could not be turned off for winter. Let me know if you find a better price for internet, I would be interested. TV costs we signed up and first 6 months at 19.95 then it went to 34.95 for 120 channel package, also first 3 months included every pay channel!!! That was nice. Good Luck and keep me posted!!
Thanks Andy.
Thank you for the pictures. We enjoy looking at them over the long winter months. It is very nice way to still keep in touch.
Thanks for sharing your pictures.Its a great way to see how much snow is on the ground before I come up.Roberts Lake Wabeno Thanks Tom
My husband Dan and I will be in Wabeno from February 14-18th visiting Tim and Connie Friesen and “the gang” from the Bistro. This great bunch of folks will be performing some of Dan’s Radio Reader Theater scripts for a fun filled Valentine event. Be sure to check their website (bigeaselbistro.com) for details. We’ve had some pretty chilly winter temperatures here in Oklahoma but we’ll be sure to prepare ourselves for the much colder weather we’re seeing on the Trump Lake webcams. Can’t wait to see everyone!
mary,
thought about u when my dad said the house was down,
nothing stays the same does it!
Hi Jeannie
Stay warm
Hi to u!

jeannie
Mary B.
Hi Mary, just a short note to say hi and a Merry Christmas. I watched the video of the house being
taken down. You do know that my Uncle Clarence and Aunt Kay lived there. I believe the late 30’s
or early 40’s. Not sure if they had it built but think they did. Will have to check with Marv and see if
he has any info. Enjoy the cold weather, last weekend it was 70 degrees out here. It’s cooled down
now. I enjoy seeing the snow on the lake from the WebCam.
Doug B.
Happy New Year Doug!
Yes, the old house is gone. I knew your aunt and uncle owned it before my folks. Dad bought it in 1946, just before I was born in ’47. Did the Reetz (sp) farm there. I think we had a chicken coop for a while but only my pet Easter Rooster occupied it @!!
I have a few pictures I’d like to share with you and also see if you can identify 3 kids that we played with. Could you email me at mfbeck@charter.net?
Have a great year!
Mary Fran
No shantys on the lake yet, or are they around the point out of view?
no shanty’s yet but probably this weekend… drilled 6 holes today and 9.5″ to 11″ so safe enough now..
Tom Barborich
Yay!!! I see green grass, the dock is back in the lake… summer is approaching! Good thing since it is Memorial Day weekend. Thanks again for your webcam. I enjoy it so much!
Hi Mary… my aunt runs an embroidery/monogram company. The t-shirts are $20 which includes shipping. She can put any lake name, family name, date… whatever you want. She can also do long sleeve or sweatshirts. 2012 shirts had a loon on them, very cute as well. I ordered 2 2013 shirts, one in black & white & they arrived today. They look fantastic. Her email is dianne_mcdaniel@yahoo.com & phone is (864) 356-2900
Hi Lorie
I love them. Who does them for you and how much do they cost?
Thanks for sharing.
Mary
HI Jerry,
Don’t know if anyone at your lake would be interested but we have custom t-shirts made every year for our trip to Maiden Lake. I hope you can see this link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=591624400855730&set=a.591624310855739.1073741825.466768620007976&type=1&theater
or https://www.facebook.com/DiZigns
They can be customized to say TRUMP LAKE or anything you want. We all love them… Just a FYI…
So excited to see that it’s beginning to look like spring there!!!
~Lorie
Mary B.
Doug out here in VA will be planning a trip this year, not sure of the time, will be sure to
check in with you. Cool and rainy here, I see there is still ICE on the lake, guess I will have
to pack my long johns.
Hey Doug
Please let me know when you will be coming up and I’ll be sure to be around… Yes bring your parka too!
Mary
might need to hit “refresh” – when I first opened, I got old pics too
It doesn’t look like the web cams are being updated.
I can’t believe it’s almost tax day, and the lake is still covered in ice and snow!! We’ve kind of gone by the guideline that the ice is usually off by, or around, tax day. I guess I needn’t rush there from CO to get the lawn raked just yet. 🙁
I still so enjoy the cameras Jerry, and really appreciate your effort, and the assistance you get from others, to keep them up and running!
Jerry, is there a chance that the order of the comments can be changed from the oldest comments at the top, to the newest comments being at the top? It may encourage more postings if viewers see the latest comments posted at the top…..it might appear more ‘current’…..just a thought.
See you all soon……it won’t be long now!
What a coincidence, this very morning on our way to Menominee, Mi we stopped in Coleman and bought an antique from a fine gentleman with the same last name as yours. He told me he had grandchildren in Portland. Is there any chance that you could be related to this very fine man in Coleman. I have a kid sister in Oregon City who checks the cameras every day.
By nine in the morning, two cameras WILL be back on Trump Lake. I have been to busy going to funerals so my advice to you is: Do not get old!
Jerry,
For all of us that aren’t as fortunate to be there can you please point one of the cameras at the lake so we can see when the ice finally goes off!
Thanks.
I love the new camera locations this morning!!! Glad you had a friend to save the cameras.
We were at the Kress Inn, when I discovered late one evening the two lake cameras suffered a big fall. I called our lake association president Rich Wickersheim and asked him to check them in the morning and keep them from getting wet. Rich went over there in the dark and picked up the winter heated camera box and cameras and returned them to my garage. That saved me from having to buy new cameras, THANK YOU, RICH!
I have them in my basement right now, looking out the patio door. Tomorrow or the next day I will have them in their summer box and back on the lake. It got down to 7° last night, Spring is not here yet. In De Pere we saw many flocks of Robins but not one here at Trump Lake.
Congratulations to the Trump Lake residents who sold and returned tickets for the Wabeno Legion-Lions Fish-o-ree. The response was fantastic.

Merry Christmas Jerry, family & Trump Lake! I loved looking at the lake this morning & seeing the beautiful blanket of snow…. So peaceful. Hoping your day is a wonderful one. Thanks for the gift of the webcams & the momentary escape they give me!
~Lorie
We are related to Dee & Carol; Ann & Chris Brooks and families; We have fond memories of
our visits to Trump Lake and want to say thanks for the memories. Now I winter in so. TX and
love to check in and see what is happening in northern WI. Please keep up the good work. We love
your web cam photos and Waubee Lodge. Best wishes for a happy holiday season… let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!! God Bless all of you. The Brill Family
Jerry, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of so many loved ones. Five funerals must set some sort of record (not a good one). Hopefully, you are done with those for awhile.
I will check in at night & hope to catch the foxes!
Thanks so much,
~Lorie
Oh, foggy morning! Love it! The snow has fallen….. beautiful! So fun to watch the change of seasons. I am still hoping to see some wildlife one day.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season… thanks for the cameras… love them!
Hi Lorie,
I just have not had the time to do justice to the cameras. I have spent all my time going to funerals, all my ol’ working buddies and cousins are checking out on me. Last week alone we went to five funerals.
Today, I just got the cameras in their heated winter box. I ran into a few problems as it was misting all day, so I brought the lake cameras to our front deck. Tomorrow I will tune the focus, it is too dark now, then bring them back to the lake.
As far as wildlife goes, we always have deer in our back yard, but I have not seen one since deer season. However the foxes still come every night out in front. I do have a flood light that comes on automatically when the fox comes. We usually see the mama fox and four young ones. So if you check the cameras at the right time, you will see them tonight.
great seeing your cams Jerry while down here in KY 🙂
Oh, the leaves are definitely falling…. I can see the thinning, especially in the 2nd & 3rd cameras. Looks like you are working on taking out the dock…. good luck to you! I hope that we can see some wildlife… I’ll be watching. In the meantime, thanks for the cameras. Your fall is far more beautiful than fall we have here in the city of Chicago! : )
Thank you Lorie. Yes, the cameras will be in a heated box as last year built by my friend, Quentin, around the corner. I have been having some modem/router problems and I have been busier than a cat on a hot tin roof. But I will get caught up, I want to move one around more as we have a lot of wild life in our yard all the time.
Looks like there is a hint of the leaves changing colors! Will the cameras be up year round? I’ve really enjoyed them… thank you
Enjoy seeing what the weather is at the lake. I usually visit during May and June each year at the
Braun’s Lake House. Believe my heart is still at the lake..What happened to all the pan fish this year?
It’s hot out here in Virginia.
Hey Doug
It’s hot here too!! Very humid but beautiful. Sorry I missed you this year—do stop by next summer okay!
Mary Fran
Hi there Grandpa, it looks like a beautiful day! I can’t wait to come up soon.
Thank you, Tori; today was the most perfect day. And I just want to tell you that we love you; you are a real sweetheart.
Grampa
Why do we see an empty pontoon boat on a beautiful day as today? lol,..looks so serene there!
Is camera #2 on your property or somewhere else on the lake? I love this webcam, especially when it is such a pretty day like today! How far are you from Maiden Lake? We’ve gone to Maiden Lake for the last 5 yrs & your lake reminds me very much of Maiden Lake.
Hi Lorie,
The cameras are located 20 miles north of Maiden Lake. We are exactly 2 miles from Hy32 on Trump Lake Road. My father bought the Dunn cottage in 1952. We are across the street and the camera that rotates is in our front window. I missed the first Trump Lake Association meeting since 1952 this year as we had to attend a graduation in Virginia, I do have more cameras that I move around for people to see work on their places or to see the foxes or bears or whatever, but I have been to busy to get them set up this year, but I will when I get the time.
Thanks for your interest and input, Lorie, my kid sister checks on me everyday from Oregon.
Love to see the lake when it is as smooth as glass!
Thank you for your wonderful webcam…. every time I click on your web cam it takes me to the North Woods which is a very happy place in my mind. I just discovered this a few weeks ago but love seeing how the weather is there. I love to see that your boat is there & then not there, imagining that you are out on the boat enjoying a wonderful day. Thank you for allowing my imagination to go to a happy, peaceful place ; )
Lorie, from the crazy busy city of Chicago…..Lorie who loves the 30 second escape Up North
Hello. We often have enquiries about local history and families related to original Trump Lake residents. A gentleman named Peter Noer, who is 80, is the descendent of the Dr. who founded the first hospital in Wabeno, and the family had a cottage there. He is looking to find out if anyone remembers the Noers, or the Bierbaums. The Bierbaum’s had a local business and also had a place on Trump Lake. If anyone knew them, you could contact the library art
the email above, or 715-473-4131, or contact Mr. Noer directly, at his email address:
norsky2024@hotmail.com
Thanks for keeping your wonderful history and memories of the past as well as new memories at the lake for future generations.
Best,
Carol Lee “The librarian”
Carol
Jim Newton, TL resident, knew the families and said he would email Mr Noer directly. Jim also has a film of TL that we will copy and upload to the website. It is a view of the lake from a motor boat and was taken in the 1940s!
Thanks for making this connection!
Mary
Jerry & Carol,
It was so nice to see you this weekend at the cottage and the grandkids loved that they made your
web-cam. We had to put the picture on the refrig when we got back to the cabin. Thank you for making a copy for us. You are a great neighbor.
Linda
Thank you Linda, we are so fortunate to have all nice neighbors all around the lake.
Your Mom and Dad are always so much fun and always teach us new stuff. I just put the
cameras in their summer box as it was 120° in their winter house that Tex Velicer built.
HELLO FELLOW LAKE LOVERS…. HAS ANYONE ANALYZED THE WATER LEVEL AS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR DUE TO THE LACK OF SNOW…. WE ARE CONSIDERING ANOTHER EXTENSION…. ANY INPUT IS APPRECIATED… LORI.
Hi Kathy and Karl,
I am not sure if I am reaching the same Karl Reimann who I remember knowing when my parents had a cabin in Wabeno in the late 70’s. I don’t know if you remember me or my family, but if so, just wanted to say hi and hope all is well. How is your family? My sister, Tina is living near Chicago now and my brother, Joe is near Seattle, Washington. Well, just wanted to say hi and if you are interested in “catching up” you can contact me on Facebook under Cynthia Gonda or at my email address above. Cindy
Jerry almost enough water along the edge of the lake to go swimming!!
Just bought Kaci her first snowmobile yesterday! She’ll be the cute young blond on the purple Polaris next year! Now we just need to melt the ice and get the boats out. Can’t wait!!!!
Love your webcam Jerry and all your pictures you send us. Kathy & Karl
Snow looks awesome I miss it. Sitting in 70-80 degrees in tupelo Mississippi.
Hi Jerry,
Thanks for sharing this website with us. What a beautiful lake and surroundings!!
jerry, yes moved the camera, to your lift. thanks ew.
Dad, the third camera view is showing only a quarter of a picture. Hope you had fun at the fish0ree!!
had a good time at the party on trump lake on st. 10 2012.
I live in Seattle Washington but enjoy looking at the Webcam photo’s. You have my thanks for putting up the cameras.
My parents have owned a home on the lake for about 40 years. A home I still visit each October with family and friends. Thanks again
awesome sight would be better if more info on how thick the ice is and picts of the lake closer to hwy 32 would be great.
Several months ago Iserve formerly ez-net stopped offering DSL in this area so I had to go with another internet provider. I spent many hours and dollars to get people in here to get their modem/router to work. You can never talk to the same person more than once. About thirty different people could not get it work properly. Last Friday with the help of Jason Boor (Wisconsin Computers), we have it running about as good as with ez-net with a modem that a good neighbor offered me.
I have four more cameras that I would move to where ever people would have an interest, like fox and other animals. I would put a camera for people who are having a new septic or building going on as long it was within 400′ of someone with a good router. These were by invitation only and they were live 24/7. I hope to get the other D-Link back on line from the other end of Trump Lake.
I must give a big thank you to Greg Tice, the very kind gentleman who helped me originally purchase the equipment and set it up and piggy-back on his website. And Mary and Bruce Beck for getting it to: http://www.trumplake.org
Today I will go out and check the ice thickness and post it on camera #2, thank you for the input.
Enjoying Trump lake from Harlingen, TX Good job and thanks for sharing your technology with
those of us who can’t be there.
Beautiful sunset. Thanks for all you have done to get this going for us to see.
We would like to place another “Tie one on Trump Lake” t-shirt order for Xmas. a different color for the reorder. Please let me know if interested. Size and quantity please. We need to build a minimum.
Pam
We have stop at the lodge and enjoy the people and the service is great and so is the food…what a difference from the last people … we coulded even get a slushy one laber day week end…have a safe winter season…
Hi – I wanted to say thank you for posting your web-cam- we come up every year for the last week in July. (since 1963!) We randomly check the lake throughout the year to see how much fun everyone is having! Thanks again- Jill
Jerry:
Thank You for letting us look back at Trump Lake from Three Lakes, WI. Our place is still for sale…two cottages, two garages and the best view on the lake. If you have a friend or family that loves Trump Lakes as we have for 26 years…email us. We will be there to mow every couple of weeks. Lill & Dave
Hi Lil and Dave,
From Jo Ann in Berlin and Pickett!
Yes, Jo Ann…we heard you were at Trump Lake from Bob. It’s a great place to be. L & D
Thank you, Jeannie,
You tell your Dad that he can use my garage anytime and the wire welder and the threader which will cut threads on 1/4” rod to 2” Stainless Steel pipe.
I enjoy chatting with your Dad and see him every Sunday in St. Ambrose.
Keep the faith and keep smiling,
Jerry
Hi Jerry,
Thanks again for the use of your garage on that cold,
wet, rainy Sat. for the boat repair for my Dad. We really appreciated
that. I’m really enjoying the web cam. I told my Dad go to the dock
and wave to me. It’ll be our way of checking in on you!!!!!
have a good day,
Thanks
Jeannie Martin
Hey Cuz!

Mary Fran
Mary :
We understand the amount of effort being Sec./Treas. Thank You Very Much for listing the property for SALE. We have lowered the price, again & have it listed w/Century 21 out of Crandon. We’d love to sell to someone who Loves Trump Lake. The Loon greeted us yesterday as we worked in our yard there.
We will mail you the $25 TLPA dues as our Thank You for keeping us on line. Lill & Dave Brice
Thanks to all for a safe and fun memorial weekend. We now have water on the farm again !!
A special thanks to you, Jerry, for allowing us to see daily updates at the lake! We thought for sure that the ice would have went out today! Did you lose your bet on the ice? HA!
Seems like we all can’t wait for Spring and Summer at the lake. I too check the webcam daily. Thank you for providing the service for all of us who love the northland. My family, the Schoblaski’s have a brother who lives in Castle Rock, Co. What a small world!
I would like to thank Jerry for inviting me to check out his webcam. Sure do enjoy it. I am from Pound so not that far away. Great job.
I ALSO CHECK THE WEB CAM OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.THE WEATHER FROM MILWAUKEE TO WABENO CAN BE SO DIFFERENT
I too would like to thank you for this site. As a child my grandparents to me to the lake from town. Now my parents live on the lake year round and this is just a nice way to check in on them. I often kid about seeing them on this end of the lake in their boat one of these shots. Thanks again-Appreciated!!!!
I also look daily at the lake, can’t wait for the ice to melt off. Summer is right around the corner.
Great job with the camera’s, it brightens my day.
Mark,
I have not seen you in so long, I forgot what you look like!
Jerry
Remember you told me that it was hard for me to tie my own shoes?
Mark
My husband, Bruce, and I look at Jerry’s Webcam every day–what a treat! Thank you Jerry for all your hard work in pulling this together ….. We plan on opening our cabin next weekend….and we can hardly wait! —Mary
Mary and Bruce,
We all owe a big thank you to Greg for helping me set up the cameras and joining his site!
Jerry
My husband and I view the site almost daily from work or home, we absolutely love to view the cam and check out the lake and weather….. we are looking forward to another spring and summer on the lake this year!!!! Thanks for making the site available to us!!!!
We love the webcam!! We check it all winter long from our home in Colorado. We’re now watching for the ice to go out on the lake…….looking forward to seeing that sign of spring.
Summer awaits!!!!! See you then!
Ann
It is nice to know that someone else enjoys the north woods as much as we do and also checks the ice from Colorado. we are in the foot hills and have watched the ice leave Evergreen Lake while it is still frozen in Wisconsin
Hi David,
It appears we may be assembling either a Colorado East or a Wisconsin West faction!! We have not yet been to Evergreen, but are determined to get over that way soon, if not before summer, then fall for sure!
Ann,
And we like your nice warm smile!
Jerry
All these Colorado People! I thought I was the only crazy person to own a second home in Wisconsin…in Fact I am even more nuts, as I go there for the winters! Next time your in Castle Rock, give me a shout! I love checking the cameras to see whats goin on up there,
AJ
Well AJ……we live in Larkspur!!!!! Although we prefer winters in CO, you have to drag us away from the lake in the summer! 😉
kidding me? I grew up in Larkspur, Valley Park. My wife and I own EnGedi Salon in Castle Rock….and I clean windows with my dad, who still lives in Valley park. I’m with you about the summer too! I love the lakes…so DRY out here and I love when people say it is “green” here too! ha! Our house is in Townsend. Mary lake is the lake we are on. How far away are you from Townsend…?
Awww……thank you!!
I look forward to seeing your happy face every summer as you ‘patrol’ the lake. It’s especially nice when we have a chance to chat now and then!
Hope you & your family are well.
Take care!
Ann
Awww……thank you!!
I look forward to seeing your happy face every summer as you ‘patrol’ the lake. It’s especially nice when we have a chance to chat now and then!
Hope you & your family are well.
Take care!
Ann
Jerry,
Those ‘thank you’s’ were for you!! My ‘replies’ are being highjacked for some reason and put in the wrong spots……it couldn’t be my skills I’m sure!!!! Hahaha!!!
See you soon!!
Ann
Hi Folks,
Sure do enjoy looking at the lake via your cam. I moved away from Trump lake when I was about 20 years old. Lots has changed since then. I remember MANY days fishing, swimming and cruising for chicks. I had a great youth on that lake. I keep the cam in my “favorites”. Thanks again.
Todd
Todd,
Stop in next time you get to Trump Lake.
Jerry
Waubee Lodge
We just got home from from Waubee Lodge. All I can say is: it was good but it has gotten better, now it is superb. Everything was 5 star+!
First of all I want to thank Greg Tice for inviting me to piggy-back on his web-site. He told me what to buy, then I brought them to his office and he set them up for me with my router. Then I added a third camera which Greg set up for me.
The first year I had the lake camera in our son’s place across the street from us as he is on the lake side. I had bought rotators which are 240 volt, so I had to buy transformers and take them apart and re-wire them to go from 120 to 240. And then buy timers to turn the rotators on for 1 second every five minutes to always give a different view of the lake. The rotators failed often. So, I asked Greg if I could add another camera and abandon the rotators for the lake cameras. He said, “Fine” and helped me out.
So I built a weather proof box with a glass door and moved them down to the lake side. All was well until I read that the cameras were good from 32° to 104°. As you know sometime it does get colder than 32. So I went and checked with my friend Quentin Velicer a retired home builder as to what to buy to build a box for the cameras for the winter weather. Quinten said: I will build you a box. I left with him a 12” x 12” therm o pane that I got from Old Castle Glass in Green Bay. Quint built a 4” thick foam box for me and I installed a Honeywell Weather Watcher thermostat with a 7½ watt light bulb and a thermometer. It worked just fine all winter.
This morning I had noticed that Cam #1 was not transmitting just as we were getting ready to go out of town to visit two different relatives in nursing homes. I have a feeling that it got too warm in the box for the cameras. So having no time to spare, I went to the lake and removed #1 from the box and brought it across the street and it started working over here so just stuck in the window of our lower level looking south to Terrians property.
In the morning I hope to re install the two lake cameras in their summer box and all will be back to normal. And with Greg’s permission I am in the process of buying another camera to move around Trump Lake to who ever had a router. I have more ideas, hang on, it will be a fun ride!!!!!
