Here's a map showing the various points I mention as we head up the peninsula toward Door County which was recommended to us before we even left home. We’re glad we heard about it, but more of that later. We moved up the coast a bit to overnight in Manitowoc and took a little ride to Two Rivers because Mary Lou found out that was where the ice cream sundae was invented. We found the place which is now run by the local historical society and includes a very nice museum. But of course we had to have a sundae. It was called a 'Ruby Sundae' because it had hot caramel, ice cream, and topped with rhubarb sauce. Check it out. Before leaving Manitowoc, we toured the local Maritime Museum (seems many of these little towns have maritime museums). This one caught my eye because of the WWII submarine moored alongside. The museum turned out to be very good and we toured the sub with a very excellent guide. Here's the forward torpedo room. Check out the bunks over and below the torpedoes. Motoring north we made it into Door County to the Peninsula State Park, going thru Sturgeon Bay, Egg Harbor, and Fish Creek. (I just love those names!!) The state parks around here are all heavily wooded with narrow shady roads and spacious campsites. There is so much to share about this adventure that I will make these reports shorter, but more of them. Later, Chuck
