Island 2016 - Second Trip Day 2: Photos with the Lighthouse

After our beach trek we headed back to the lighthouse. We arrived with a little bit of time left before our boat was to leave for the return trip to the mainland. We took some pictures of ourselves with the lighthouse.

The lighthouse was having some work done to it. Sadly, this meant we could not get up to the tower as it was closed off.

Island 2016 - Second Trip Day 2: Arrival at Raspberry

Saturday, July 9, 2016

Once we got to Raspberry we were met by a dock at the bottom of a long set of steep steps. The three of us got off the boat and clomped up all of them to the tippy top. You could also see the lighthouse from the dock but once at the top of the steps it became apparent that there was something of a compound up there.

Island 2016 - Second Trip Day 1: Arrival

Friday, July 8, 2016

Dale's been back home for the last week but we departed for MI with Athena today. What a good traveler she is. 

We met Alyn and Elis, who had made it up just before us, at the apartment.

I've been wanting for a few years to make a day trip to Raspberry Island to see the lighthouse. So when they told me they had been thinking of doing just that I was overjoyed. Score! Sadly, Dale told us he couldn't accompany us due to work. Next time we'll make sure he is able to make it by scheduling in advance.

Island 2016 - First Trip Day 2: Apostle Island Lighthouses

Stopped in Lori's to snap a shot of this mural of some of the Apostle Island lighthouses. I'd love to make the trip to Raspberry Island since there's actually a tour boat that goes there.
