Im not sure if they'll be ready then unfortunately. After today, Blueberry's should be about 40-50% done. I've got the detailed stuff to do yet.

Noted and will 100% do that next time. I'm not sure how it can get any better as they are all amazing but now I am extra pumped to try the alternates. I also agree that 13 Blueberry is amazing.
I also agree with tallpaul. Let's not sit here and bash them for what or how it could be better but give John and anyone who helps out tons of props for what they have done and will continue to do with the place. I'm also not going to sit here and say there is nothing that can be upgraded or better about the place but I understand too that not many people have 16 hours a day to just straight work on the place, and I also feel like it's hard to find anyone to even volunteer to help out.

Silly Question.....
I've been up to Highbridge a few times and played the courses several time.....
Blueberry is probably my favorite but when I get to the end (18), I am confused by the layout.
Does 18 go from the top near the 17th basket down the hill or is it played the other way around?????

After 17, go right, and the teepad is there. Youre throwing straight then left downhill into the woods.

Yes Jeremy answered already but I will say too that there is a teepad down by the 18 basket which John had previously set up a temporary basket by the cabin off of 18 so people could throw at that, however, he did not set it up this year or at least when I was there last weekend it was not up.
We did have many people ask about where to to off of 17 (we stayed in that cabin on 18) so maybe a next tee sign on that whole is needed?

I played a round with jeremyhilss today, and he showed me a picture of the new signage he's working on for Blueberry. I haven't played any of the Highbridge courses yet, but the signage looks sharp! I'm excited to see how it will look after he is finished. Not to mention, his crafty/artistic wife is helping him out, so that's a bonus.
Blueberry's signs are nearly completed, hopefully will get them put up this weekend!
This is seriously awesome news. It really can't be understated how much better a course is with good signs!
Ticks in WI in general have been WAYYYY down this year compared to the last two years. Skeeters, as well.
So in this area there is a spring/early summer tick hatch, which wasn't bad this year. Late July and August the ticks are usually very low. However, there is also a fall tick hatch that usually happens in mid to late September or early October. The ticks then stick around until after the first really hard freeze (not just frost). The fall one I've found usually isn't as bad as the spring hatch. Please note that I don't know if a low spring hatch means a low fall hatch.
seems to be true here but not quite SURE just going by experience I think ive only pulled off one tick this year vs 3-4 after a round previously. We avoided some courses 2013-14 due to ticks and mosquitoes LITERALLY chasing you off the damn thing regardless of 99% deet spray.
Ah very good, so late august or first week of September generally ideal?
When our group went September 26th weekend the nights would get down to higher 40s and lower 50s, while the days were around upper 60s maybe lower 70s. I literally don't think we had 1 single mosquito bite, and none of us had a tick on us and we were out all weekend discing. Personally I can't speak for sooner than that as I haven't been there, but John did text me 2 weeks before our weekend saying the ticket and mosquito's are basically done for the year, so take that for what it's worth.
Also this is amazing! This was our only complaint about Blueberry while we were up there, but obviously wasn't enough to really affect us as we have played Blueberry a few times before. I just kept thinking for new players or new people playing that course might have a hard time finding their way around. Thank you very much for the time/money/effort of creating new ones, I can really only speak for myself but I feel it's much appreciated.
All of August usually sees very few ticks. To give you an idea, we have to keep tick repellant on our dogs or else it is a nightmare (for them and us) getting all the ticks off of them with their long fur. Monthly applications and we usually give it to them on the first of the month. We've learned that we can get away with not giving them their August application and we have been fine. And they are much lower to the ground and go through the long grass much more than us. Early and mid September are fairly tick free as well.
