John Neil left Iowa in the 1920's and homesteaded the shores of Crane lake. "Junior" still lives on lives on the family homestead and once operated a small tourist camp. Besides a homesteader, John has spent several years as a wilderness guide and a trapper. "Junior" has a wealth of North Woods tales that delight, amaze and maybe even "scare" some visitors who sit at his knee to hear him recant stories of..."way back when" on the shores of Crane Lake.
