Sunsets, Crystal clear water and John Prine

So we left early Friday morning, and when I say early it was before nine o'clock.  The plan was to travel north.  It was technically still a work day for Kelly so  I was just riding along while he made his stops to talk to dairy farmers. Not long after we started I took this picture of an apple tree.  It was just growing along the roadside and there were hundreds more.  No wonder there is so much wildlife up here, there are apples and berries everywhere!

 This place that we stopped at was the coolest and largest dairy farm I have ever been to.  That is Kelly and one of the owners, talkin' business.  Behind them are cows standing on a rotating turn style,  I like to call it a Milkin' Mama Merry Go Round.  It holds 60 cows and milks them as the rotate a complete circle in just 15 minutes.  This farm has 2000 cows to milk 3 times a day. 

Milk, it does a body good.

Back on the road we went.  We made several other farm stops.  Six total and then we decided we should stop and grab a bite.  This is what I had.  Yummy!

(Just an FYI, neither of us were drinking Bud Light.  They were using that as a carrier for ketchup, mustard, napkins, etc.)

After eatin' all that grub, we thought it would be a good idea to walk some of it off.  We stopped at a park called Copper Falls and walked its two mile trail.

This was the begining.

After a while, we saw this.  Isnt it cute!  And yes I was that close.  This baby along with it's Mama and what we thought was an older sibling were just nibbling along the trail. Occassionally they would glance our way but they were in no way afraid of us. I guess living in a protected area made them nearly domesticated.

Here is one of the falls that we saw.  It is called the Cascading Falls.

 I set my camera on a post and did a timed photo with it. 

 I had to have proof I was in this beautiful place.

Here was another one. It was amazing. And loud.

We got back in the car and drove up to Lake Superior to find a place to spend the night.  We searched and searched for a place to stay and everywhere we called said they were full.  Wow, I thought, what a popular place.  Later I had learned that the only reason the places were full was because John Prine was there to perform a concert on Friday and Saturday night.  We didnt go. 

There was just so much other stuff to see. 

Finally we found a place with 2 rooms left so we grabbed one.

This is the sight from the hotel where we stayed.  Amazing I know.

We unloaded our stuff and headed for a walk down the pier.

Superman had to get a shot of the amazing sunset. 

Stop for a little smoochie.

The next day we headed to the lake.  We saw a lot of these. 

And some of these adorable little ducks just beggin' for some popcorn.

When we got to the island this was our mode of transportation.

Just love my mighty hunter, manly man on his moped.



Here we are! At the beach.  The most beautiful place ever!!  I could just sit with my feet in the water for hours.  Maybe days.

It was amazing.  The sand, softer than sugar.  And the water, crystal clear.

 And it went on forever.

 Then we got back on the ferry.

Went back to Bayfield. Got in our car and drove home.

 

The end. Maybe.  But I hope not.
