Day 42 - Ishpeming to Iron River, WI

During our drive from Ishpeming, our run of bad weather continued.  However we stopped at Bayfield, WI, which is another charming port town, and walked around.  The rain continued as we arrived at our campground.  We set up as quickly as possible and then took refuge in the trailer.  I cooked pasta.. no barbecue action for Jim:)  Fortunately the weather let up so we ventured outside and took a walk down to the lake.  On our way, the boys jumped on the swings so it was fun to see them goofing around like that... lots of laughing!

What a beautiful area this was... green rolling grass and a lovely lakefront area. We walked out on a few piers to have a look in the water.  I think the boys were secretly hoping for some turtles... no luck but we did see some small fish that were nearly transparent.

After checking out the lakefront, we went into the office, which was really a combination gameroom, bar and restaurant.  The owners were very friendly so Jim and I chatted with them while the boys played foos-ball.  During our ride to WI, Greg kept referring to cheese-heads so I think maybe he expected everyone to be wearing cheese-heads in WI???  In any case, Jim mentioned this to the owners and the next thing we knew, we were all wearing or holding onto Green Bay cheese-head stuff! We actually had our picture taken wearing/holding this stuff (sacreligious for a die-hard Niners fan!!).  It was all in great fun.
