Wagon Trail Resort, Ellison Bay, WI: A nice day today. We drove over to Newport State Park—actually it’s a wilderness area—and hiked one of the trails there. We hiked along this rugged bluff for a while. Most of the trail was along the lake shore. Very pretty. We checked out two backpacking sites along this trail. When we backpacked there seven years ago we had a site way down the other end of the park on pretty Europe Lake. Saw the Northern Lights for the first time. Back home, stopping on the way to pick up some more strawberries. Washed and cut those up and then freshened up a little. Headed to Fish Creek for dinner at Summertime Restaurant and then on to the Peninsula Players production of Heroes. This was a really funny play about three WWI vets in a veterans’ home in France who plan to run away. The theater itself is in a beautiful garden in a grove of cedars right on the lake shore. At intermission they build this huge bonfire. They just redid the theater four years ago. They’re celebrating their 75th year and are America’s oldest resident summer theater. A very impressive venue.
