Miscellaneous First Day in Door County, Post #2

Last Friday I started telling you about the quick trip my friend and I took to Door County last October. Our first stop, Cave Point County Park, was so fascinating that I took 113 pictures and spent that entire blog on Friday just sharing some of those pictures.

The rest of that first day, Monday, October 11, we packed in a lot more sites and nearly as many pictures.

Just down the road (and several missed turns) is Cana Lighthouse. To get to it, you can ride this wagon pulled by a tractor.

Across this isthmus, which has varying amounts of water in it at any time. But because it was Columbus Day, the tractor and wagon were not running. We could have walked across – as two brave women did – but the Lighthouse was closed for the holiday anyway, so it didn’t seem worth it.

It wasn’t as cold out as it looked, just windy.

Then I spotted something out on Lake Michigan. Boaters? Birds?

No. Surfers of all things!

I was captivated.

Once again took too many pictures. Are those guys nuts?

Next stop (after yet again getting us turned around) was the Bjorklunden Church at Boynton.

On the grounds of Lawrence University Outreach Center.

Of course, a little while later, we couldn’t resist a stop at a cemetery.

We didn’t see much wildlife all day other than this spider.

Last stop during the day light hours was the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse in Peninsula State Park.

Who can resist a lighthouse? 

What makes them so romantic?

There was another place we visited that day, but it will have to wait until next time
