Sun, 7/25/10
Wagon Trail Resort, Ellison Bay, WI: A beautiful, pristine morning. We sat around outside in the morning reading and enjoying the sun and the warmth. Called the Sister Bay marina and got a reservation on one of their boat cruises. Called at 12:00 and they had a 1:00 cruise, so I made reservations for that and then scrambled to change clothes, eat something, and get there on time. We just made it and off we went. The boat was a 43 ft. cabin cruiser and the captain was an older woman. She was assisted by one mate who handled the lines and answered questions. We cruised out to the Sister Islands and then down to Ellison Bay and hugged the shoreline on the way back. Saw lots of caves in this rugged lake shore and also the largest house in Wisconsin—40,000 sq. ft. You can only see the chimneys from the water—it’s surrounded by deep woods. The only way to really see it is by air. The woman that owns the place is very reclusive and likes her privacy. Came back to the marina and checked into a sail we could go on. We’ll do that another day. Walked around Sister Bay for a while. Stopped at a little café and I had a root beer float and Mike had a soda. Back home and relaxed outside for a while and had a couple of cocktails. After a light dinner we watched a movie. Mid-80s today.

Someone built an office on their property that cantilevers out over the lake
