Thursday morning we stopped on the way to meet our writer/farmer friend Jay, to pick up some copies of signed books to deliver to a bookstore in Bayfield and to receive some last minute tips on what to see. Here's Jay in his low rider, signaling peace to the people.
Somewhere between Spooner and Hayward came the first awesome thing we saw, and anyone who's a Zippy fan knows why we pulled over to check this out.
Late afternoon Thursday we arrived in pretty Bayfield, WI, delivered Jay's books and checked out the bookstore... and I found at least one treasure, a Wodehouse called Uncle Dynamite. The mind reels with anticipation. Bayfield is a cute little town with a lot of history, but now is pretty touristy. We got the feeling that there is a little of the the historical Bayfield to be found if you look hard enough; I'll relate some of that in another post.
Of course you need to take the ferry to get to the island; here's a view of Bayfield as we were heading out. And happy, day-before-birthday Carrie:
Landed safely on the island, and found our cabin:
We unpacked, drove around La Pointe (the one town on the island) to check out dining places, etc., had dinner and then returned 'home' to our own Moon Over Madeline Island:

WOW! How wonderful to see you two up there. I can't wait to chat with you about details...
The shot of the moon is just fab!
Did you retouch the colors in the moon photo? Absolutely stunning!
