This mornings 12.6 mile, invigorating bike ride to Ephraim and back took us past an old tower that was built in 1903 and rebuilt in 1934. The tower itself is only 75 feet tall but it sits on a bluff that is 175 feet above the water’s edge. The view from 250 feet high was pretty. John did comment, though, that if he went down to his knees, there might be a problem. We could see Ephraim Harbor with its many sailboats and Fish Creek Harbor, several islands and lots of blue, blue water.
View from the tower you can see in the post 2 days ago.
After lunch we drove north to Sister’s Bay, another small art community in Door County. The tourist draw in Sister’s Bay is Al Johnson’s Restaurant with has a grass roof where Billy goats like to graze. John swears that the only goat on the roof today was a statue but I thought I saw it wiggle its ears.
We checked out several other restaurants and shops before crossing the peninsula to check out Bailey’s Harbor on the east side facing Lake Michigan. The temperature dropped 10 degrees with the wind off of the lake. We spotted two commercial campgrounds near here, three interesting restaurants and a couple of shops but there wasn’t much else to see.
