Walk there you say? Sounds like un-nerving fun.

Yeah, that's what I thought when I first heard about it; you'd have to be
drunk, stupid, and suicidal even to try. Then, when I saw it in placid
early morning conditions, it was plain that you'd have to be drunk, stupid
and suicidal to fail in the attempt. However, it doesn't take much of a
change in conditions for the odds to tilt very seriously and immediately in
favor of doom.....and as I'm sure you know, this area is justly famous for
sudden changes in conditions.

Nice TR.

Thanks, I've been learning from a master.

Twenty-five years later, I went back up to Door County, Wisconsin this
past February, just for a weekend road trip.

knew you could do it.

Thankfully, your TR is far closer to "art" than that stuff sold as such in
Door County. Thanks for posting, it made for a nice read.

....whose wife will be forced (OK, asked) to read the description of
Door...hopefully your clarity will help explain my disdain for the area.

Thanks you, Wayno.

Ah, who knows what wonderful works could eventually flow forth from a
friendly and appreciative adult environment such as ROFF might have been
mistaken for in the past week or so?

Nice, Wolfgang. When I grow up, I want to visit some of the places in your
stories.

Be advised that in travel, as in medicine, a second opinion is never one too
many. Note Dan's response.....well, the second half, anyway.

not to be negative or anything. i mean, at least you get independent
confirmation that THIS place actually exists.....outside the author's
fevered imagination.....thus making a visit, if not necessarily equal to the
dust-jacket blurbs, then at least possible without the aid of either
prescribed or proscribed chemical fuels.
