Off to see the sights

Before we head off to the northern most point of Door County we take the dogs to play in Captain Bailey's dog park in Bailey's Harbor

It a nice large dog park with a section for big dogs and another for small dogs

Driving north thru Sister Bay

A winding road

Finally we arrived at the ferry dock at Northport 




 This little ferry named the Washington can carry 150 passengers and 18 - 21 autos

 This ferry travels between Northport and Washington Island. After the dogs take a dip in Lake Michigan we're off to find a place to picnic.


 This is a nice place to dine! At Ellison Bluff County Park.


The views were spectacular!


In the evening we attended a fish boil in Ephraim.

This is the dinning room where one eats the boiled fish dinner. If you don't want fish you may order chicken or ribs.

The cooking of the fish is an elaborate presentation. White fish, potatoes and onions are boiled together in a cast iron pot. When the fish are cooked, the oils rise to the top of the pot. The boiler then tosses a small amount of kerosene on the flames and the increase in flames causes a boilover. The fish oils spill over the side of the pot and the fish is done.


The kerosene has been applied


Dinner's READY


After dinner a walk on the dock
