Sturgeon Bay

Thursday we drove up the spit from Green Bay. It was a short drive of about 25 miles. The little village of
Sturgeon Bay lies on Green Bay side.
This is a draw bridge
across Sturgeon Bay.

We watched it go up for a tall sailboat and a yacht.

It took about 10 minutes start to finish.

The scenery is rustic but peaceful. I'm just glad we aren't there this weekend. I'll bet it is crowded with last minute tourists.

We hung out here at the rig yesterday because it was raining cats and dogs. The wind came up and blew over a bunch of trees in the area. We watched the reports on TV. Boy it doesn't mess around here when it rains. It was coming down in sheets.

Today we drove down to Green Bay to look around. We couldn't get near Lambeau Field because they've closed everything off because of the Thursday game and a concert down there. Green Bay is just a little bigger than Santee and ten times older. The biggest thing in the city is Lambeau. And of course everything has a "tie" to the Packers. At this campground where we are staying we saw the Packer Mania last Thursday night, and it was just for a preseason game. The people up here live for the Packers.

We leave in the morning for Michigan. We'll be on the UP for about ten days.
