The best sunset I saw on my last camping trip.

“Secret” places
I spent last week camping in Wisconsin’s Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest. One of my favorite things about that area, are all the secluded, “secret”, places that are just a short distance off of bike trails, hiking trails, and roads.
If you get off of your bike while riding on the trail near Crystal Lake, you’ll discover this above scene just a few dozen yards away (along a short hiking trail). Yet hardly anyone stops to take in its beauty.
Ice ornaments
I think Lake Monona is getting into the holiday spirit. Making ornaments from cold air and water.

Edgewood boardwalk
This is how I spent my lunch break today. Walking along the boardwalk behind Edgewood College.
Lake of the Clouds
Hello again Lake Superior
Halfway through my camping vacation, I left northern Wisconsin and drove up to Porcupine Mountain State Park, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. As soon as the highway I was on hit the coast of Lake Superior, I stopped at the nearest picnic spot and hiked along the beach.
It was a beautiful day, with a wonderfully cool breeze coming off the lake. I felt as if the lake was welcoming me back. I hadn’t seen Lake Superior in at least six years. It was so good to be walking along its shore again.
The sky at dusk
When I was camping last week, I wasn’t on the right side of the lake for watching the sun set. But the sky still offered some beautiful scenes during that time of day.
Newport State Park
While camping in Door County a few weeks ago, I took a day trip to Newport State Park.
It was a hot day at camp, but the wind was off the lake at Newport, bringing some welcome cool air (and fog) along the shore.
Peninsula State Park
Last week I went to Wisconsin’s Door County, where I camped at Peninsula State Park. The park’s bluffs offer spectacular views of Lake Michigan.
