We woke up this morning to a spectacular sunrise over Lake Independence. Val threw a sweater on over her pj’s and went out to get pics. It wasn’t long before we were on the road headed for the Apostle Islands. We stopped at the Visitor’s Center in Bayfield, WI and decided to stay at a campground at Sand Island Recreation Area. We tried to get on a cruise around the islands, but they don’t take dogs so we remain landlubbers, and settled for a walk around town and out on the pier. Sand Island is about 10 miles out of town. The campsites are slightly wooded, and the beach is fantastic. Val found some stones that may or may not be agates. Very soon after Val returned from her walk on the beach, the sky got dark and we could hear thunder. Dave turned on the weather radio, because we have no phone signal here for internet, and severe thunder storm warnings are out for this area. Next thing we know it’s hailing. It was so beautiful all day, and then all of a sudden dark skies, wind and hail. Wow! We learned that when our canopy gets full of water and hailstones it tips and drains then rights itself. How awesome is that! So Dave and Val stand in the doorway and wait for the awning to tip and drain and talk about how cool that is. It doesn’t take much to entertain some people.
