Iron River, WI
We landed in Iron River Wisconsin today (goodbye Michigan; it was a great 31 days, we will return again!) for a supposed week of “slow down”. I have a sneaking suspicion it’ll be nothing of the sort!
We’ve got a superb spot in the campgrounds right on the water of Iron Lake.
Apostle Islands
The stunning Apostle Islands. Weather was beautiful; air temps were in the high 70’s while Lake Superior water temp was 40 degrees!
Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge
Cloudy day made for cool vibes…
* Drummond village, in the Chequamegon National Forest. Nothing but ATV trails and lakes everywhere.
* Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge. Saw several interesting animal beds off the hiking trail. These looked too large for deer, and there are after all bear around, yet we saw neither.
* dense fog rolled in off of Lake Superior for the night (sunset at 9:02 CST). Felt like a movie set driving home to the campground!

Orienta Falls, the Port Wing village and Marina, Cornucopia Beach (home to an artesian well; crystal clear chilled water), and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
