Travel with Tribbles: Fly in Madeline Island

We left Duluth yesterday morning and followed the Wisconsin Lake Superior shoreline around to Bayfield. Offshore from there are the Apostle Islands, the biggest Island is Madeline Island and it is about 10 miles long. We put our MH on the ferry and in about 20 minutes we off loaded onto Madeline. There are permanent residents there and lots of tourists in the summer to enjoy the beaches, trails and parks. It's kind of isolated with no cell phone service and tv, not a lot of tourists at this time.

We did a little walking on the beach, whipped up our dinner in about 5 minutes, salad and smoked whitefish. Following dinner we had a mean game of Mexican Train dominos, the last hand I ended with about 200 points and lost. During all this excitement we left the screen door open. This time of year the flies seem to be seeking a warmer environment, so we ended up with lots of flys. Our next game was to see who could swat the most flies, turned out to be a tie, unfortunately there were some left over. As we traveled into Michigan today we kept opening the windows to let some out, wonder what they thought about being in a different state and if they were accepted by the Michigan flies?

As we traveled eastward across the Upper peninsula of Michigan today there was just the start of fall color in some trees. We have stopped in Marquette for the night.
