Day 5 - heading West

Then Saturday morning we packed the car (again) and headed North. Our goal was to reach Wauseau, Wisconsin, but when we saw the Mackanaw bridge we both decided we'd love to see the island....so we packed our lunch into our back-pack & hopped on the ferry over to Mackanac Island. We ate lunch on the shore and then decided to rent bikes and attempt to ride all 8 miles of the island. Our first diversion (after maneuvering through the hundreds of people who also had the same idea as us) was a real putt-putt course! It was real green's & it was right on the water....so beautiful! We played 18 holes and then got back on the bike. After about 2 miles we decided we'd had enough of the beautiful island and returned the bikes and got back on the ferry. We left the island around 5:30.

We stopped in Escanaba, MI for dinner at Fazoli's....then made it as far as Green Bay, Wisconsin where we found a cheap Days Inn because we couldn't find a campground...plus it was dark - no way to pitch a tent!

I wondered what kind of golf you were playing in the pictures. Sounds cool, I'll have to try it out if I ever get back there. And I'll bring you guys a box of fudge!

Osumsugw is going to hold the fudge thing over your heads for a very long time to come.
