Back North in Wisconsin

North again.  Lots of farm land with crops of all kinds.  Still have not seen a dairy – something generally needed to make cheese.

About mid-morning we went through Beaver Dam, WI.  This is the home base of Nancy’s Notions.   Sort of a Mecca for any serious sewer or quilter.  We spent a while wandering the retail store.  Large, well stocked sewing/quilting/embroidery store with several class rooms.  Much/most of their business is through the mail as evidenced by the very large warehouse/distribution center that the store is attached to.  I guess their catalog is quite extensive.  Sue said everything she saw in store is in the catalog and we saw a LOT of stuff.

Leaving Beaver Dam we went northeast to the town of Two Rivers on the west shore of Lake Michigan.  Visited several local interest spots including a large sandy beach.  Beach as big as many ocean beaches with very fine sand.  Perfect spot for recent heat wave.

Reverse sunset from campground.  Setting sun is behind us shining on clouds to the east.
