Today we did the southern Door County route. The GPS appeared to once again have its own agenda, but we managed to get through it. On the way we saw some amazing things, a black squirrel, a doe with 2 fawns, beautiful rolling hills in the farmlands and the bay of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The smells were amazing as well - the peonies and some type of wildflowers were in bloom and when were weren't smelling farm, we got to smell that. We drove through several canopies of trees and through pine groves and that smelled amazing as well since I love the smell of pine trees. It was good to see things growing and to look at the different ways people have landscaped their yards.
We also discovered that not only is our GPS messed up about giving directions, I thought that Ed was kidding when he said we had to turn from Lakeshore Dr. onto Lakeshore Dr. I pulled over and took a picture to prove that the GPS was right!
One surprise was that we ended up at the Sherwood Point lighthouse and it happened to be open today so we got to go up into it and take pictures from inside the part where the light is!
We stopped and had lunch at the Fish n hole in Idlewild and we both had the sandwich & soup. It was a ham & cheese sandwich on wheat (your choice of bread) with 2 kinds of cheese. I had the chicken soup with peppers and Ed had the chili. They said it was real authentic chili made by a real Belgian. It was really good too (I stole a spoonful). We had some white cheddar cheese curds and they brought out ranch to dip them in so I tried it and that was good too! For both meals, appetizer and 2 cans of soda with tip it was $26 which I think was pretty good.
We decided to head back home when the skies started getting dark and after about 7 hours. We ended up with 269 miles on today and we got a little wet the last few miles of the ride but it didn't matter because we were in town and it was basically just a little more than a sprinkle. Hopefully more riding next weekend!!
