Wagon Trail Resort, Ellison Bay, WI: Another warm, pristine day—the sky a crystalline blue. We drove over to the Cana Island lighthouse. You have to walk over a causeway to get to the island. The last time we did this the water was high and we schlepped over in ankle-deep water on slippery rocks. A pretty island with large, flat shoals all around. The keeper’s house now has some furnishings in it whereas before there was just an office. There are over 900 steps up the tower to the light. We opted not to. There are a couple of shipwrecks just off shore you can dive or snorkel on. The water is crystal clear up here—and quite cold. Drove back, stopping at Kangaroo Lake to check out this pretty little lake and then via Fish Creek to pick up my bike. Back home and relaxed for a while. Mike grilled up some steaks. We had a dinner of steaks, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable. Watched a couple of movies. Mid-80s today. Beautiful!
