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!!!!!

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,
Stop in next time you get to Trump Lake.
Jerry
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

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
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!!!!
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
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
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 CHECK THE WEB CAM OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.THE WEATHER FROM MILWAUKEE TO WABENO CAN BE SO DIFFERENT
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.
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!
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!
Thanks to all for a safe and fun memorial weekend. We now have water on the farm again !!
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

Thanks

Beautiful sunset. Thanks for all you have done to get this going for us to see.
Enjoying Trump lake from Harlingen, TX Good job and thanks for sharing your technology with
those of us who can’t be there.
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.
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
