Door County 1

 One of the reason the Republicans are so anal about getting a new Sup Court judge is that know they will not have another chance for a decade and Clearance Thomas has said he wants to retire.  

With JoeBiden (One word) now having an 87% chance of winning and the Democrats with a 69% chance of winning the Senate the left could have 8 years minimum of a super majority (Thank you Donald for your incompetence).  So the yare passing as much as they can before it's too late.  

***************************

SO - in camping news - we are BACK to the Rockwood 1910 ESP. Just more room in it then the Little Guy Mini Max for 2 people.  Yea - seems strange a pop-up would have more room but we have been obsessing over this for a while and it's an awesome rig. It takes 2 people who know what they are doing 13 minutes to set up.

DJ and I constructed a Trimline canopy which is MUCH more difficult and the need for muscle so we are not too worried about set-up time. 

But this trip we stayed in a cabin literally across the street from The Coyote Road House in a densely wooded area.  Could not see the Roadhouse but it's a hopping place at night I tell ya!   It's an A frame with another A frame sticking out it's side.  


Getting us back out in nature was such a joy.  No longer excited about sleeping on the ground BUT want to be outdoors - THUS - a camper.   My parents had a pop up that we took down to Florida and when my brother purchased a used one a few weeks ago . . . . here we are. 

Back the the "vacation".   I took this the first day we were there from the Kangaroo Lake Causeway (a 2 minute walk from the cabin) 


 I wanted the trees but at that time of night the shore was all shade.  We know Door County like the back of our hands as it would be my 60th (  O M G ) year going up there.  My parents owned land on Moonlight Bay but had to sell when the new owners required a bigger house print then they could afford.    DAMN IT! 

We considered buying a cabin but camping is WAY cheaper and we are not locked into one location.  Like being a member of a golf course - WHY. Then every time you golf somewhere else you feel guilty as you are paying for a place you are not using.   

ANYWAY

This was the image I was looking for that I got the next day. 


Since this was Gus's first real road trip overnight we just drove around and went for hikes.  We wanted to take him for a hike in DA WOODS so we went to Peninsula State Park and wanted to see if the tower was still there. 

WOW - a new tower is in place with a handicap ramp for the ages.  It's almost like a zip line as it goes through the woods in a long long arc.  


You can see the entrance on the far left - People will want to walk this as it slowly goes above the trees - I say a half mile walk?  if not more. 



We are on our hike and Gus is just in a happy wiggle with all the smells. He loves it. 

The next day we were driving  around going north and the clouds were coming in. The trees were magnificent and one thing I have learned is if your eyes see something DON'T BE LAZY. Stop the car and take a photo even if it might not be great.

Stopped and took this - yea - not as perfect as it was driving by at 30 mph but at least it got my photo juices flowing. 


 
Then a while later we drive by this guy and I turn around and get a few photos 




That first night we ate outside (all restaurants have outside seating) at the Coyote Roadhouse and Gus was VERY good.  He sat beside us and was a good good boy. Of course the waitress was all bonkers about him and he got treats. 

OH - we had lunch at Not Licked Yet the ice cream place in Fish Creek who have OUTSTANDING food.  They have these tables that are metal mesh and Gus sat below and was so surprised when he look up and THERE IS MOMMY AND DADDY.  There was literally a look of surprise LOL


We walked around the piers in Fish Creek.  It was a beautiful night . . . as long as Gus didn't jump into the water . . .we have to be careful as he LOVES swimming, not baths but swimming is awesome. 

Nuff said for today.  More tomorrow. 

OH seems the weather people at WKOW are Gus the Weather Dog fans.
