Exploring Door County, Wisconsin

Northeast of Green Bay is a peninsula, which is Door County. There are many small communities here, places like Sturgeon Bay, Egg Harbor, Sister Bay, Fish Creek, Bailey's Harbor and Brussels. In between these little communities are dairy farms, many of them sporting "Land O'Lakes" signs in the front yard. In between the immaculatly manicured farms and yards there are woods. Woods so thick, I think I've stepped into Little Red Riding Hood or Hansel and Gretel's woods. And, surrounding it all, is Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Big water.

We've been putting a lot of miles on the little white Saturn, exploring as much as we could in the short time we allowed for this stop.

Below are some samples of the woods:

It feels like you're driving through a tree-tunnel:

The mist rising from the road after a rain:

Something else Door County has is lighthouses. Did I ever say how much of a lighthouse nut I am? Well, be prepared. We're about to head for Michigan, the state that has the most lighthouses of any state! Door County, though, has the second most lighthouses of any county (I'm not sure which county has the most, but I'll be doing some research on that!).

There are a total of 10 here, and we saw 7 of them:

This was our first view of Lake Michigan:

We've had a couple of challenges here, but we are working through those. The internet connection is pretty weak, and slow. Sometimes I've been able to connect and look at a page or two on the internet, and other times, I can't get anywhere. I did buy a Hawking Wireless Adapter, and that helped quite a bit with the park's wifi. However, I think the park's system is not all that great.

Tomorrow we're on the road again, heading for Iron Mountain, Michigan. More adventures!
