Bayfield, Wisconsin, USA - 13th July 2011

Hi Mama! 

Today we went on the ferry to the mainland.  It was a nice day, but a little bit of a cold wind.  Miss Kate made sure we didn’t blow anywhere.  ;)

After our errands, Miss Kate gave in and took us to the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center.

Do you like this wolf?  It was a little scary, but it was already in wolf heaven and not dangerous.

Hey, that guy looks just like me.  But bottom dwellers??  :thinking:  Food for larger animals??  :mad:  I'm going to try to forget I even read that!

I lifted the lid and found out that these poor frogs survive the winter freeze.  Not for me!  :p  Boy, Mom, I’m not in Chile anymore!  ;)

Great view of the pond from the tower.  I could just dive in right now.  If it weren’t for those freezing winters!

There were a few informational computers in the center.  We could’ve looked at the snowmobile trails (?!) but chose instead to see the other Apostle Islands around Madeline Island.

We also saw a 3-D model of Lake Superior.  We pushed the button for Native American communities and they all lit up.  Very cool.

It was time to go, but on the way out we met this very nice ranger.  :)

We drove all the way back to Bayfield and got in line for the ferry back to the Island.

A quick stop at the little library to find a book on frozen frogs  :thinking:  ...
