Bayfield on Superior

2021, Road Trip, States, Wisconsin

Our home these last four nights has been Dalrymple City Park Campground just three-quarters of a mile north of downtown Bayfield, Wisconsin, right on Lake Superior. We arrived shortly after eleven on Sunday morning and successfully scored Site #14, one of the 25 electric sites just as the weekend crowd was departing. All sites here are First Come, First Choice. We’ve loved this spot, nestled into the woods at the end of a cul-de-sac. We noted that this campground was designed primarily for tents and small campers. We’ve had no problem but it’s been interesting to watch larger rigs come in late in the day and get themselves into tight turn-around situations then in frustration need to leave and head out for another campground. Hope they have a Plan B! As much as appreciating the opportunity to cruise around the Apostle Islands and to visit Madeline, we’ve enjoyed immersing ourselves in Bayfield. Our first evening we hiked to the Copper Trout in time to be there when they opened at 4:30PM then settled ourselves in for a outdoor concert down at the waterfront. We found seats on a retaining wall and settled in to listen. Song after song with a swing beat that has us wishing for a suitable dance floor. We’ve had great meals at Manypenny Bistro and The Pickled Herring, found some geocaches, visited the local museum, walked a portion of the Brownstone Trail, found a few treasures in the local gift shops, and just generally enjoyed fact that for four days Redford, our F-150 got his own little vacation. Every one of our adventures was on foot!

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!

Savoy at Sea 2025

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
