I received a text message from George on Monday, July 6th with the following: “Hey Jeff, I lost my wedding ring this past weekend in the lake playing with a beach ball…can you come and look for it?” The lake he is referring to is Castle Rock Lake. Buckhorn State Park is uniquely situated on a large peninsula that juts out into Castle Lake. It is an artificial lake on the Wisconsin River and is the 4th largest in our beautiful state. It is known for its hiking and swimming, sandy beaches, pontoon rentals, tubing at Sandy Shores, and live music at waterfront restaurants.
George and his son Ben, who made the journey with him, ventured 3 ½ hours from the Chicago metro area, in the very early hours of Tuesday morning, July 7th to meet at the park entrance. George was very concerned about finding his wedding ring.
George was very clear with instructions to me where he lost his ring playing with the beach ball. In short order, the ring was recovered and placed back on his finger. George was more than ecstatic that his ring was found. He will be celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary this fall with his beautiful bride and would have been crushed if the ring had not been recovered. We wish him and his bride the best for the next twenty years.
