Fri, Aug 10:  Wagon Trail Campground, Rowley’s Bay, WI:  Another nice day under a blue, cloudless sky.  Around 2:00 we ventured in to Sister Bay for a late lunch.  Then drove up to the tip of the peninsula at Gills Rock and then Northport and the Porte Des Morts (Door of Death—hence Door County).  It’s called Porte Des Morts because of all the shipwrecks there.  Cars were lined up to take the car ferry over to Washington Island.  We saw a huge tanker off in the distance.  Back home, taking back roads only.  Which, by the way, are way better than the so-called interstate highways.  We will stick to county roads most of the way home.  Will not go back the way we came, which is a shame since our highways are supposed to be safe and well maintained.  At least they are in Missouri.  83 today.
