We spent 3 nights in delightful Door County Wisconsin. The entire area is charming, the architecture, the flowers, Mother Nature at her best.

There are 5 Wisconsin State parks in Door County, Man and I visited 4 of them in one day.

Cave Point County Park, near Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin, on Lake Michigan:

Indian hut, Whitefish Dunes State Park, near Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin:

Ok, I just thought he had a interesting expression. Just a sea gull.

Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Thought the sail was very interesting.

Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin. Man couldn't stop counting the number of poles on this charter boat.

Guess the rocks were too hard to sit on?? You just never know what oddity you will find. Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin.

Upper Range Light residence, Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin. Now a visitors center for a nature trail. (this photo needs a little love-straightening! LOL)

Baileys Harbor Lower Range light, built in 1869, served until 1969.

The next day we revisited some of the little towns, walking along the docks, drinking latte, splurging on fabulous fries and yummy ice cream at Whites. The day ended with Man experiencing a boiled fish dinner.

Where Man had his fish boil. This is a Door County speciality. Served with red skin potatoes, sweet boiling onions, cole slaw and cherry pie.

There is Al's dinner boiling.

Great campground, great campground staff, charming architecture, marvelous nature, good food, good times with our MOC friends, and the most delightful weather for the days in Door County. Hardly gets any better than this! We hope to revisit Door County Wisconsin in the future.

This 'n That, from Tana in Door County Wisconsin

Left Mackinaw round 10:30 Monday, headed cross the Big Mac, always awe inspiring. Traveled 2 cross the UP towards Wisconsin. Traveling with us, Bill & Linda, fellow MOCers. Traveling ahead of us, 7 other MOC rigs, in a caravan. The 7 chose to do 325 miles to Door County in one fell swoop, we chose to do same trip in 2 days.

Stopped along the way to allow Man to fill up with smoked fish and jerky (several kinds). Other than Bambi running cross the road, giving us a bit of a thrill(?), and causing Man to slam on brakes, the run was uneventful and pleasant. Here we sit at J. W. Wells State Park (Michigan).


Wells is a beautiful park, on the Green Bay, could have stayed there a long while, and will place park on the list of "I wanna go back here!"

Discovered late Monday evening, which gave Man some uncomfy hours of concern, idiot warning lights on Big Butt, who must not have appreciated the slamming of the brakes for Bambi. Started search for GMC dealers, discussed options we had. To our pure delight, on pulling out Tuesday AM the lights went bye bye and Big Butt's brakes were working fine.

Had a delightful run round Green Bay and up to Door County. The sky was exceptionally blue with puffs of white clouds, temps delightful. The MOC gang decided to go out for dinner, plan backfired, 2 hour wait to be seated, plan B, brauts and goodies around the campfire, as you can see, plan B was very successful.



Today, sight seeing. Will attempt to keep wallets in pocket, merchants will attempt to extract same. We shall see.
