Journal entries are just that – the digital copy of my hand-written entries in my journal. If you aren’t interested in the daily details of our adventure, feel free to skip on to the next “regular” post.
After breakfast we hit the road once more, heading back to the Ashland Peninsula in Wisconsin for our anniversary weekend – going to check out the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
Following the guidebook’s advice we aim the GPS toward Bayfield. Apparently there was only a single campground and we didn’t feel hugely excited about it. There were more options about 12 miles down the road so we moseyed along to Washburn.
The campground is well-kept and has electric hook-ups but only community water. Pay showers, so that’s disappointing. Right on the water so we’re only 100′ from Lake Superior. Very pretty view out the window, and plenty of scattered pine trees throughout the sites.
Settled in to camp for the day and headed out to explore Washburn on our bicycles. Gotta get those miles in! Didn’t take long and we’d covered the town. Spotted a few eateries that looked good for anniversary celebrations. We are debating if it’s worth going out for a nice restaurant – it’s been a few months since we’ve dressed up for a date. But there’s also the quantity argument. For the same or less money we can go to 2 or 3 cheaper places.
To get more miles we head back down the road to Bayfield. Stop for a break – snacking on home-made granola and water. I feel much better on the way back.
Stop for pictures in a field of flowers. I’ve been trying to get a picture of these for days while going down the road. They smell good and are very pretty! We weren’t the only ones stopping – at least 2 other groups had the same idea.
Back in the RV we looked up activities and other campgrounds for the weekend. Supposed to rain Sunday, and we have to get in a long bike ride on Saturday. Without a water hook-up and our fresh-water tank empty, our new 7 gallon jug is handy – pouring it into the tank is a bit annoying. Maybe another campground will work better – we will look tomorrow.
Hard to believe, 7 years on Sunday! Ashley asked what I imagine 10 years will bring. Absolutely no idea. A year ago we were in the Bahamas. Now we live in an RV and are traveling the country. Neither of use thought we’d be where we are now. Maybe still on the road. Or settled and have a home/farm/business of some sort. I can only imagine, but I know that as long as we’re together it’ll be good!
