We set up our trailer at Door County Camping Retreat.
Our first full day was a long touring day. We picnic lunched at Europe Lake (with a snake just 4 feet away) then took the ferry to Washington Island.
Once on Washington Island we toured Jacobsen Museum, Schoolhouse Beach, Jackson Harbor Maritime Museum, an Ostrich Farm and Stavkirke, a community built wooden church.

StavkirkeThe next day we went to Peninsula State Park and enjoyed the overlooks of Green Bay.
On Friday we drove to Whitefish Dunes State Park on Michigan Lake Side, but when the mosquitoes proved too ravenous, we moved to Cave Point County Park and had a picnic lunch on a bluff overlooking water 40 feet below. Beautiful but dangerous.
We ate lunch sitting on this rock looking out at Lake Michigan.That night we attended a fish boil at the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek. It was different and fun—an efficient way of feeding a large number of people all at the same time and quite spectacular.

These pictures bring back lots of memories, esp. the Fish Boil and your trip to Washington Island. Did the guide tell you not to take any of the little white rocks along the lake?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip you are having. Bet you'll really like WI Rapids too, esp. the beautiful formations along the WI River.
I'm guessing it's a Garter snake by a quick google search.
ReplyDeleteMy Aunt and Uncle were married at Stavkirke. Brings back memories. Beautiful
