Lake Superior & Madeline Island

As we were so close to the Lake Superior shore while camping in the North Woods, we had to make a quick trip to check out this great lake.  It was beautiful... lakes have such an effect on me.  I am completely smitten with being on a lakefront (as mentioned before).

We spent a bit of time visiting Bayfield and then took the ferry to Madeline Island, one of the Apostle Islands.  The bonus part of camping next to a bear trap is that all of your food and cook out gear is already packed in the car... making it easy to picnic at the beach in Big Bay State Park.  The dogs weren't allowed on the beach so a ways into the bay hiking trail we found a cliff that was navigability... shhhh.

It was a lovely day at the lake, if too short.  We spent much of the rest of our quick trip talking about lake houses, specifically the where and when and dreams of large family get togethers.
