Where the Road Leads...
Sometimes when we find an open road, we just have to see what's
down it.
Jo pulled the stop cord numerous times for wildflower pictures. Hers are always better than mine. Orange, yellow and white seem to be the colors of the day.
And speaking of stop cords.....our first find was a little railroad stop at Trego, where you can ride an old train, have a pizza on board with the family, or just look at the river and the beautiful Wisconsin countryside going by.
They were closed today, but our
imaginations were open to the possibilities.
Hayward
At a little town, Hayward, we found the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame !.... You can view giant freshwater fish from Bluegills to Muskies. In fact you can even get your picture taken from a platform inside the mouth of the world's largest Muskie...
Hayward sits right in the middle of an extremely popular fishing area. Lakes and rivers are everywhere, all of which are famous for the fishing.
Cable
Further along our highway, the little town of Cable has a pretty little library made from logs. Several galleries give the town an art feel. The Brick House Cafe is inviting. Today it was popular with the bikers who were riding through.
Ashland
Ashland sits on a bay off of Lake Superior. Brownstone architecture is prevalent in the older part of town.
The most impressive Best Western Hotel we have ever seen dominates the lake front.
Artist murals can be seen all over town. Construction and reconstruction of Victorian houses were all about.
A small park offers a splendid view of the bay. We sat at a bench having a snack while watching some kids dive from a board on the pier.
On the way back home, my son called to wish me a happy Father's Day, and to tell me he is sending me a new course on Photoshop! He is dedicated to helping me improve my photography. We can't always be with loved ones on special days, but it is so nice to have cell phones that can find you so easily. It was a great Father's Day and a great retirement day.....!
