We are now in Door County which is located on a peninsular in Wisconsin with Green Bay on one side and Lake Michigan on the other. It is one of our favourite destinations in the US, and a place we have visited many times. It also happens to be one of the nation’s premier vacation destinations. With 250 miles of shoreline, five state parks and 10 lighthouses, it boasts more of each of these than any other county in the country.

Within Door County, there are several different towns each with their own distinct character. Our favourite is a place called Fish Creek, a small, very pretty town with its own harbour where they are moored some seriously gorgeous boats. A few years ago, we became so enamoured with Fish Creek that we met with a realtor and looked at some properties in the area. Pictured below is the apartment which we originally viewed which was in a great location but it had a somewhat quirky inside including an elevator – for three floors!

There is Egg Harbor, where our RV park is located. It is a small, quaint town which we have only visited once before, until now, and which we will explore further tomorrow.

And, Bailey’s Harbor, which is a keen favourite of ours with the Cornerstone Pub and Restaurant being of particular interest and a location where we have spent many an idle hour! Here you can gorge on pan-fried Perch or deep-fried Walleye, two of the local catches which are wonderful. I seem to remember, but I will need to check, that at one time long, long before this place was a pub, that it was a funeral home! I don’t think that I’m making this up, it is just something sufficiently quirky to stick in my grey cells! No doubt we will visit soon and I will need to re-read the newspaper cuttings on the wall!

We looked at the far right apartment in this block in Fish Creek which overlooks the harbour where some rather large boats are moored.
