Kewaunee, WI
The Kewaunee Resort RV Park was our base for about 3 weeks.
We spent A LOT of time at the Aurora Medical Facility in nearby Green Bay.
The picturesque harbor at Kewaunee.
The older part of Kewaunee was quiet and quaint.
We rode around the historical Marquette District of Kewaunee.
This home was Susan's favorite.  She likes porches.
This beautiful home was for sale.  The asking price was $229,000. Inexpensive by Calif. standards.
This is a view from one of the town's hills to the Kewaunee River and wetlands.
The restored tugboat "Ludington" could be toured for $2. We just looked.
Susan rides out to the lighthouse to see what is going on.
There was a three-day salmon fishing derby and one of these gents just caught an entry.
Driving across the bridge was as close as we could get to the popular tall sailing ship event in Green Bay.
Somewhere along our trip up the Door Peninsula we stopped to admire Lake Michigan.
This was the view looking up the shoreline.  A nice beach and a wind surfer (oooh that has to be cold!).
The obligatory picture of Bill to show you that he was there too!
Susan stretches to get just the right cherry.  They were a bit tart and used for pies and such.
A nice little path up to the Cana Island Lighthouse.  No vehicle traffic is allowed.
The Cana Island Lighthouse is impressive on a beautiful day.
Houses dotted the shoreline.  They probably enjoy ice skating on the lake in the winter.
We had a nice lunch at the Harbor Fish Market and Grille in Baileys Harbor.
This was the view from our lunch table.  Nice?
We took the ferry over to Washington Island at the very end of the Door Peninsula.
The ride across.
Ferries passing in the day.  Everyone gathered for the event.
We arrive at our destination.
The Stavkirke Church is patterned after rural churches built centuries ago in the valleys of Norway.
Schoolhouse Beach has a sheltered harbor with smooth stone beach. Their are fines for taking the rocks.
I call this video "Tenderfoot". Susan tries walking in the water and finds it bruising.
The Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc was an interesting place to tour.
The USS Cobia was a WWII sub like those built in Manitowoc during the war.
Bill!  Heads up... er down rather.  He had to contort a bit to get through the sub.
Load torpedo bay #1!
Near the torpedo bay was the captain's exclusive private john.
Farther down the sub the remaining 70+ sailors used this bathroom. Timing is everything...
The captain had this luxurious bunk.
The crew slept in bunks like these and often in shifts because there were not enough bunks.
The galley.  The food on the grill must be a little stale by now.
The mess hall had four tables, six crewmen to a table.  More storage is under the tables.
Levers and stuff to run the sub.
More guages, switches and important stuff.  (This writer clearly knows his subs!)
One of the diesel engines.  Loud and hot.  Wouldn't have wanted that duty.
One of the veterans who served on the sub was on hand to "tell it like it was".  Harrowing at times.
The musuem was more than the sub.  Exhibits showed replicas of boats that plied the lake.
An interesting exhibit showing how the hull of a schooner was constructed.
Schooner exhibit.
Interesting old boats.
A touring boat in the foreground and racing boat in the background.
A fun exhibit of the many different outboard motors manufactured over the years.  Some were very odd looking.
