Apostle Islands

With a bit of remaining time at our Drummond Lake Campground, we ventured north to Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Not much on kayaking ourselves, we booked a sightseeing cruise from Bayfield, WI, that toured past the various islands. The sea caves of Devil's Island offered ample photographic opportunities as did the lighthouses. 

Once back in Bayfield, we ventured into a couple of the shops and had a late lunch. By then, we had decided that it was time to head back. With plenty more to explore in the area, the fruit orchards, the picturesque town, and the mainland shoreline, we may venture back another time. Sometimes, when you try to do too much, you just end up tired. We wanted to savor the day with the memories of the beautiful scenery.

A Goat, a Moose, and a Big Fish

The only one that was real was the goat. While in Hayward, WI, for the Lumberjack World Championship, we, along with Kevin and Tammy, took the opportunity to stroll through the Wilderness Walk. A goat took a liking to Harold's shorts and wouldn't let go without a fight. 

Walking around downtown Hayward, I spotted a moose chair. I had to sit in it. I have been getting teased about moose ever since I bought my "moose" mug in Rocky Mountain National Park. Harold set me straight, "You do know that's an elk, right?" Hmm, it's still a nice mug.

Then, after Kevin and Tammy left, we went to the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. While neither of us fish, we couldn't resist the lure (ha ha) of the "Big Musky." Half a city block long, four and a half stories high, made of concrete with a gaping mouth, we  had to climb it.  The rest of the grounds have other fish statues, decent-sized in their own right. Then there's all the reels, lures, and trolling motors in the building itself.
