<span>Vacations once meant plunging into an environment different from everyday life. A vacation “up North” for Wisconsin city dwellers meant roughing it a little, not recreating he alleged comforts of home in time-share McMansions complete with wi-fi. <em>Return to Wake Robin</em> looks back on those days and focuses on sites along Big Spider Lake in Hayward, the rustic resort called Moody's Camp and a private summer cabin, Wake Robin.
