Bayfield was just lovely and nobody was there, except the Olsons and some other hearty folk. The weather was gorgeous. Sweatshirts and jeans, just the way we like it.
The ferry to Madeline Island.

We picked out a boat or two.

We loved Big Bay State Park on the island. We'd love to camp there someday.

On to Big Bay Town Park. The camping wasn't as nice as the state park, but the beach was amazing. And, finally, some rocks to pick! They also had canoes and boats to rent on the honor system. Wish we would have had more time, but the sun was sinking.
We stopped and considered a lot for sale...
for about 2 seconds. It was amazing, with an amazing view, and an even more amazing cliff drop into the lake!
Madeline Island is beautiful, but I wouldn't want to live there. Maybe it was the zombie book I had just finished or maybe it was just the day, but it's very isolated. Like Stephen King living in a hotel in the mountains for the winter as the caretaker kind of isolated. Ya know what I mean?
Seeing the library had me reconsider living there for a bit. It was sure cute.
We got off the ferry just in time to turn around and catch this view. Another fun day!
