Day 218 of Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways
Wow…I think I have had two “do-over” days in one week! The second half of my Wisconsin North Woods drive, from the Apostle Islands to Lac de Flambeau, I believe was more suited for kayakers or canoers. It certainly wasn’t a bad day, but there are ways I could have enjoyed it better.
Madeline Island
As usual I started my morning with a cup of coffee. I have to say the local coffee shop sold awesome raspberry scones. This prompted me to buy a container, twice the size of what is customary, of local raspberries at the small grocery store for three bucks or so…a bargain and good! I wanted to have some food on hand for a morning at Madeline Island, the only inhabited island in the Apostle Islands and the only island which is not part of the National Park.
The rest of the Apostle Islands, remnants of sedimentary rocks deposited in the Lake Superior Basin over 600 million years ago that have survived the crushing action of four glaciers over the past 100,000 years, are a National Park and a popular kayaker destination. Getting to those islands was an all day excursion and less than accommodating to Petey which is why I ended up choosing Madeline Island.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
