Madeline Island 2003
Recently I asked Brenda, Dale's mom, if she had any Madeline Island photos. She did and she sent me some - God bless her. Don't ask me why, but I didn't start snapping photos of Island visits until 2010. Thanks to Brenda I now have some from earlier years. This one is from 2003.

La Pointe School
The La Pointe School is a Kindergarten through 6th grade setting. Students in the higher grades need to take the ferry or ice boat to Bayfield for instruction.
Ferry Boat
One of the boats of the Madeline Island Ferry Line docked in Bayfield, Wisconsin. This one is named, appropriately, 'Madeline'. Photo taken July 10, 2011.

Beach Club 2012
Dale took this photo of the Beach Club from the ferry on his most recent trip pre-season trip to the Island (see previous post). He said the weather was gorgeous; pleasant and a little warmer than usual for this time of year. He particularly likes it in May and early June because it's so quiet and not overrun with tourists. Here's a recent post from his blog:
"This weekend I had to go to Madeline Island, Wisconsin for work. Madeline Island is where I live six weeks in June and July. It's quite a lovely place, especially this early in the season. By the Fourth of July, given my druthers, I would roll in broken glass than have to be around the swarming hordes who descend on the island to celebrate and pretend the rules of the road/behavior/public drunkeness don't apply to them because, you know, they're on an island. But I am getting ahead of myself. This weekend was glorious - 70 degrees, bright sun, a gentle breeze. In fact, the only thing you could hear was the breeze in the trees, birds and water. It was magical."
Here We Go Again... 2012
Dale went up to Madeline Island this weekend to get the lay of the land for the upcoming season. He always makes an earlier May weekend trip before leaving for the new season at the very end of the month. There had been some trouble earlier with the camp's center flooding but it seems that the repairs are right on track. I can't believe we're just about a couple of weeks away from his leaving. Dale took this photo of the Wisconsin mainland on his return trip from the ferry.
