Hello, Wisconsin!

A quote from Mike Shane, Jordan's late father, via a blog post: "Our grandchildren represent the 6th generation of Shanes to experience the EL. My grandparents met when they were teenagers while both were vacationing here with their parents. Since then, it has become a Shane family sanctuary, with generations of shared memories. I have spent time in Elkhart every summer of my life. The village of Elkhart Lake is very small and quaint with a year round population of less than 1,000. There is one 4-way stop in town – no stop lights. The village has a number of restaurants, a couple resorts, a decent public golf course. The lake is amazing. It’s small enough that you can’t get lost on the lake on a jet ski (yeah, I’ve gotten lost on another lake before), yet big enough to zip around in a boat or jet ski, sail or ski. It is approximately 300 acres, 2 square miles and depths up to 120’. The lake is spring fed, clear, refreshing water – totally awesome."
