Day 11 - 88 miles of country roads

Today reminded me of the stock market - a lot of up and down. The base elevation of Lake Superior is about 600 ft. I would climb to 950 ft then descend back to the lake. This happened on at regular 20 mile intervals. The route was along the shore but rarely did I see the BIG PUDDLE. Instead the scenic views were farmland. I was treated to a fish fry at the town of Cornucopia. The whole town was there! Rolled on to Bayfield which has a nice marina and the town is the port for day sails to the Apostle Island which is part of the National Parks. The fish fry caught up with me - but luckily i was close the head! The day ends at Washburn Muncipal Park and Campground. With the summer in full swing campsites and hotels are at a premuim. Needless to say the campground was full but as I circled thru the CG for the second time - a couple offered to share their campground. This is what I love about these trips - the kindness of others! Sue and Jim live in southern Wisconson. They are big canoer's and come up here often to paddle the rivers.
