Mike's Story
I was a Chowchilla resident for 55 years. Currently living on my Dairy farm in Northern Wisconsin since 2004.. Who would ever thought a house in Chowchilla would net $225.000.00. I had been looking for a place like this where the hunting and fishing was really good. I can't say Wisconsin is warm in the winter. I used to shiver in the fog and I have seen it 25 below here and it isn't as bad as you would think and have not shivered once since moving here...
My Home is a 3 story Log Cabin. It overlooks a lake and is surrounded by natural woods. I keep 10 acres of it with the really old pre WW1 two story dairy barn, and lease out the dairy farm and land ajacent to mine and am Retired..
My 2 labor of loves are playing music and restoring antique and classic cars is how I made a living most of my life... I also enjoyed racing Motorcycles. It seems there was a lot of glory but not much money in that. I don't race anymore and I really miss the adrenaline rushes...
I also enjoy raising most of my own fruit and...Expand for more
Vegetables in my garden. I manage to put two deer in the freezer a year along with bluegill, Walleye, and Northern Pike I also cut and stack about 16 full cords of wood in the fall for heat during the winter..
I am always glad to hear from people I knew from school and am saddened when I hear of one of them passing...
Geez I'll be 60 in September and never thought I would make it to 30..
I Hope to hear from anyone that wants to contact me..
