Munising, MI to Ellison Bay, WI

We are in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin. We left Munising Tuesday AM and drove leisurely to Escanaba, MI last night. We stayed at a Wal-Mart there. The manager said as long as we parked far from the building we could stay as long as we wanted. We really did virtually nothing at Munising. We drove around and just spent a lot of time resting, talking and playing cards. I guess we are consciously unwinding. That is easier said than done for someone like me. I know this will be great, but it is taking some adjustment. I’m used to having something going on and this is just not what I’m used to. One thing we did experience was the Pasties (pass, like pass a car and tees, like golf tees). They are like a pot pie without the gravy, but homemade. They are very tasty. We have been talking to the kids a lot on the phone. Hannah leaves for Africa tomorrow. She is going to Uganda to work with Aids orphans. We are really proud of her.
The campground we are at is called Wagon Trail Campground. It is really nice. We plan on staying 3 or 4 nights. There are lots of trees and so it is somewhat isolated, even from other campers. There are lots of trails to hike and Lake Michigan is just a ten minute trail walk. There are also scenic boat rides. Just north of the peninsula is a small island and the Indians called it death’s door – at least that’s how the French interpreted it. From that we got the name “Door County” which is where we’re at.
