Door County, WI

Door County is known by many as a vacation destination plus as a place to get away from the heat and busy life.  It is a long peninsula just north of Green Bay and extends for about 36 miles from Sturgeon to Washington Island.  On one side of the peninsula is Green Bay and the other is Lake Michigan.  We are staying in Peninsula State Park near Fish Creek.  We are a short way from Egg Harbor and Ephraim.  The state park has almost 500 campsites, 35 miles of biking and hiking trails, a beach, a lighthouse, a fire tower, an 18-hole golf course, and a folk theatre with nightly performances.

We pulled in without a reservation but had no trouble getting a non-electric site for as long as we want to stay.  After lunch we rode our bikes the 5 miles from the campground to the park entrance and then into Fish Creek and back. It was really warm and humid today, but there was enough wind to keep it comfortable and mosquito free.
