While “Up North” the first week of August I’ll visit Bayfield, WI and Madeline Island. Two years ago I drove through Bayfield, a beautiful little town on Lake Superior. There is a ferry that runs every half hour to Madeline Island. Once there you can walk, or rent a moped, or an e-bike, or a bicycle to explore the small island. It will cost about $80 for a round trip ferry ticket and a moped for two hours. I have a friend I went to college with from 1970 to 1972 who lives in Cornucopia, Wisconsin. I’ll stop by his place for a couple of games of chess the day I visit Madeline Island. I have a toolmaker friend I worked with who lives in Superior, Wisconsin whom I’ll meet for lunch during the my “Up North Trip”.
