Good Bye For Now, Door County, Post #9

Here in the North, we are getting anxious for Spring. Pretty much how we start every conversation. “Spring is coming. Yup, we’ll get one more big snow this month, but Spring is coming.”

I love Spring as much as the next guy, and Summer too. But you really can’t beat Autumn for outdoor decorating.

That last evening my friend and I spent in Door County last October, we took a walking tour of the village of Ephraim. Click on the links beneath the pictures to read about each location. 

The Village Hall and Library 

Ephraim Fire Museum 


After wandering around the small, old firehouse, we look out on the street to this guy driving by. 


Ephraim Moravian Church

Opened in 1859, it was Door County's first church. 


Bethany Lutheran Church 

Built in 1882 and just as beautiful as the neighboring church. 


Pioneer Schoolhouse

The Goodletson Cabin

 The Svalhus Research Library 

Yup, can't bet Fall for outdoor decorating. 
Where do you suppose my next adventure will take me?

Door County, October 2021, post #1

Looking back, I see that I blogged on three different occasions about how I’ve always wanted to travel to Cambodia, how I was ready to make that dream a reality, and how Covid19 squashed those plans.

Two years ago, my friend Denise and I started making plans to go in the Fall of 2020. When that didn’t happen, I went to a cabin up north with the family that week to make up for my disappointment. Denise and I hoped to take that trip in the Fall of 2021. And it fell through again. We thought about changing our plans to another trip to Kenya, but a month before, we realized Covid was still mucking with us. I really needed something special to make up for that disappointment.

I’d already been approved for vacation the middle two weeks of October. I didn’t have a lot of time to plan, but I made things happen.

The first week, my friend Denise and I went to Wisconsin’s Door County for two days. We packed a lot into that time. 

First stop – Cave Point County Park.

 Very remarkable place. And I think we were there on the perfect day – cloudy and dreary with a bit of a breeze, but temps near 70. Which all made the waves crashing into the rocky shoreline totally awesome. Beyond words.

Hope you can watch the video. It still doesn’t come close to how cool this place was.
