these vicarious trips provide unique views i honestly enjoy...your writing
and perceptions are always an added benefit of the trip.

Fortunately, living vicariously is cheap, safe, devoid of the most direct
and immediate effects of unpleasantness and, let us say, less than taxing.
We're all going to be doing more and more of it as gravity exercises its
inexorable influence on accumulated years.

i assume we passed near the portal to the area you describe when we drove
down the eastern side of wisconsin at the conclusion of my first visit?

I've discovered that I've got a very poor memory for the details of
excursions....you may recall that I'd entirely forgotten we went through
Marquette on that trip. But, yeah, I know we came down along the lake
shore, so we must have gone through Green Bay. Had we turned left there,
we'd have been within half an hour's drive of Door County.

i look forward to reading the results of your future fishing forays around
the island. as my legs weaken, i find some comfort in the access to quiet
places that can be found in boats of all types.

One of these days I'll have to do a trip in which the focus is fishing, just
because there's so much water and the fish are there. However, it's not my
favorite venue for fishing. Unless my legs give out sooner than yours
(admittedly, a reasonable enough proposition) you may have to wait a while.
