Sat, Sep 1: Wagon Trail Campground, Rowley’s Bay,
WI: After breakfast we headed over
to Sister Bay for the Marina Fest. Were
worried about the weather, but even though it’s cloudy, it’s nice and
warm. Actually pretty muggy. Found a place to park on the street pretty
easily. Walked around the marina
enjoying the wooden boats on display and some of the yachts docked there. Checked out some of the food vendors and
listened to a bluegrass group performing there.
The Sister Bay library was having a book sale, so we went over there to
check things out. I bought 4 books. Back to the food vendors. I got a white fish sandwich and an ear of corn. Mike got a bratwurst and an ear of corn. They roast the corn in the husk, then peel
back the husk, dip it in a vat of butter, and off you go. Really, really good. Sat at a picnic table with a couple from northern
Illinois who just bought a home up here in Fish Creek. They’ve been coming up here every summer for
years, and are retiring in their home up here in Fish Creek. I’d like to come up here sometime in the
winter. Mike will have none of
that! Probably mid-70s today and really
nice.

This is my favorite. Actually it was built in 2002. |

Love this little skiff. Someone added all the wood and a regular steering wheel and set of controls. |

These guys were good! |
