Updates from the road

Thursday August 7th… Lakes, Lakes everywhere. We’re camped in Woodruff in north central Wi where lakes almost connect to the next lake and it’s fishing and boating paradise. We’ve landed in Hiawatha Trailer Resort setting on Arrowhead lake catering to serious fisherman (woman). The family photo was taken down on the swimming beach. With temp at 75 and a stiff north wind we’re not interested in jumping into the 65 degree water. The area is very similar to Arizona rim country with Ponderosa and Aspen trees but green everywhere.

Yesterday we drove from Wisconsin Dells full of water parks over to lake Michigan at Sheboygan and then up the coast on the peninsula NE of Green Bay.

First views of Lake Michigan were lush and green with very little shore line. Timbers grow right down to waters edge. Sheboygan has a renewed marina area with lots of boats and new condos everywhere. Driving up the coast the lake appears and disappears with farm land and timbers and homes sprinkled in the timbers..

Neely and I found a little dock at a small town park. She found the large expanded metal surface a little tough on doggie paws and struggled to get off the dock quickly. Weather was cool and it rained hard midway up the peninsula and cleared as we arrived in Sturgeon Bay. The peninsula is covered with dairy farms with lots of orchards and vineyards.

Local wines and Wi cheeses are featured at many of the farms along the way north. Summer time is tourist season with inland lake lodges and nautical centers on lake Michigan and Green Bay shores.

Sizeable sailboats anchored at Egg Harbor on Green Bay. Very nice area with beautiful homes on the shoreline and touristie shore and downtown shopping.

Frankie and Neely shopping in Fish Creek our northern most stop. Boats below are in Fish Creek Bay with nice new marina and condos on the lakeside.

We camped just north of Egg Harbor in a heavily wooded campground. Temps dropped into the low 60s at night..

Today we drove south through Green Bay waving goodbye to Brett Favre. Photo left looks north over Green Bay channel north of the city. I see why they call it Green Bay.

Tomorrow we’re heading to Lake Superior and Duluth Minnesota.
