Island View

A view of Madeline Island from the ferry we took to Bayfield, Wisconsin. During a July 2011 visit from our friends Warren and Gary we took an excursion to Bayfield, Wisconsin. Here is a view of Madeline Island taken from the ferry as we were crossing over.

More Tommy's Burned Down Bar

The following is from the website travelandleisure.com:

"Tom's Burned Down Cafe, Madeline Island, Lake Superior, WI. The Scene: An old tavern burned down in 1992 and was totally destroyed so that only the decks remained. That didn't bother owner Tom Nelson, who thought, 'Do not rebuild it, and they will come.' Nelson pulled in a 40-foot trailer to the decks and began serving beer from the back of the truck. Since then, he's built more decks and a bar and added a tarp roof and knickknacks. It's a quirky place that could keep your attention for hours between the bartenders' stories and the view of kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders on the lake. There's even a chance of glimpsing the northern lights."
