Part 2:
In midsummer we went to visit the Apostles. Oops, not the twelve guys. The islands in Lake Superior off the coast of Bayfield Wisconsin. It was a three day two night bus trip vacation with our friends Dick and Sharon. All through the aegis of Historic Adventure & Travel and directed by John Grabko.
Vast Lake Superior the world's largest fresh water lake is vary familiar to most Minnesotans. It's our "inland sea" and actually has ocean traffic courtesy of the St. Lawrence River & Seaway and the Soo Locks. The "North Shore" ranging from Duluth to the Canadian border is our sea coast. The south shore of the lake bordering Wisconsin would be a new adventure for us. Take a look.
The small harbor at Bayfield
Returning to Madeleine Island, we visited a local watering hole, restaurant and ended the day with ghost ship stories and a rising moon. What fun!
it looks truly awesome!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun trip! I always enjoy Lake Superior, to me it is almost as good as visiting an ocean...almost:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great trip!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! Love the cloud reflections in the water and can't believe that sandy beach area is empty. I'd love to spend time on an empty beach.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great get away with friends.
ReplyDeleteGreat getaway.
ReplyDeleteLove the moon on the water shot.
My mountain man's fav wild flower is lupine !
Nice pictures! I especially like that last one, beautiful! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great getaway-you two are lucky to have great travel companions!
ReplyDeleteLooks mighty relaxing and pretty. Glad you have a good trip!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I always think of chocolate when I see those islands. There always seemed to be the smell of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful time, and what a great trip for you!!
ReplyDeleteYou timing seems perfect. You had the beach to yourselves.
ReplyDeleteWould have loved the "ghost ship stories."
That last picture is a keeper. Sounds like a grand time.
It does indeed look like fun! Ocean going traffic on your inland sea? Too cool.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Mt.Hood in Washington has a bicolor lupine. Nice area, I went through here on a 1st long transport ride and was shocked when saw semis boarding. Vancouver Island is a nice stop with the oldest ChinaTown in North America.
ReplyDeleteLove your sense of adventure Ray -- great shots and looks like a good time for all.
ReplyDeleteI would love a visit to that area. It looks so nice. Such beautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. It looks like a wonderful place to visit.
