Apostle Islands

We toured the Bayfield Peninsula today. We drove up to the town of Bayfield, WI - reminded us of Portland, Maine with its harbor full of sailboats and quaint downtown area. The weather is nasty - in the 50's, windy and raining but we made the best of it. Lunch and shopping and then out to Meyers Beach to see raging Lake Superior - 4 ft waves and strong winds - we did not stay long!
Roger pulled me out to the shoreline so Bill could get our picture and a big wave got us good!
There are 22 islands in the archipelago chain called the "Apostle Islands" located off the coast of northern Wisconsin in Lake Superior. The best way to see them is via a boat tour - big & small, each one offers something different. The violent storms and waves from Lake Superior have formed big sea caves, in some of the islands, that you can kayak through. The weather wasn't too conducive to boat tours so we had to settle for viewing them through the mist.
