BECOMING AN OUTDOORS-WOMAN PROGRAM OFFERS WINTER WEEKEND
LANSING--Attention all women who are suffering from a case
of cabin fever. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources
Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program and the Ruffed Grouse
Society are offering a remedy for those who wish to
challenge the long, cold Michigan winter--three days of
winter outdoor fun at the beautiful NettieBay Lodge,
February 23-25.
"This three-day weekend workshop is a great way for women to
improve their outdoor skills, learn new activities or even
enjoy the company of like-minded individuals who can come
together to appreciate the beauty of winter outdoors while
learning to utilize its unique qualities," said Lynn Marla,
DNR BOW Coordinator.
The NettieBay Lodge is situated on beautiful Lake Nettie in
Presque Isle County, 14 miles southwest of Rogers City.
Surrounding the lodge and 10 cottages are 2,000 acres of
picturesque hardwoods, pines and water. The hospitality is
outstanding, and each of the cottages has its own unique
atmosphere.
Classes will be offered in cross country skiing, ice
fishing, snowshoeing, rabbit hunting, winter survival and
mushing a team of sled dogs. Special evening activities also
are planned. Women, 18 or older, are eligible to attend this
three-day workshop. The $125 registration fee covers
lodging, meals and all instruction. Enrollment will be
limited to 25 participants. To receive more information and
request a registration form, contact Nancy Thurston at 810-

Many other outdoor programs for women are scheduled this
year across Michigan. To learn more about these additional
