Fri, Aug 17:  Wagon Trail Campground, Rowley’s Bay, WI:  After breakfast Mike got the new grill out and set it up.  We also got the bikes down.  After lunch we biked over to Rowley’s Bay and through the little residential area past the resort.  Great place to have a house. It’s at the end of the road, quiet and in thick woods.  Parked our bikes by the marina and walked out to the end of the dock and sat on a bench and looked out over the lake.  It is so peaceful and quiet on this side of the peninsula.  Looking at the water I decided we should go over to the little sand bay just around the corner and go for a swim.  So, back to our site.  We donned our bathing suits (yikes) and water shoes, grabbed a couple of beach towels and off we went.  Not too busy there.  The last time we were here there was just Mike, me, and two little girls who kept following me out in the water.  The water felt so cold at first, but once you got in it felt wonderful.  I couldn’t really swim with my water shoes on, so I just hung out there for a while.  Mike didn’t get in all the way, but at least he got in up to his thighs.  After drying off, we drove back to our site.  A couple of cocktails later, Mike fired up the grill and we had hot dogs and Door County sweet corn for dinner.  So good!  Another perfect day.  82 today.  We’ve had such good weather so far.
