Default Door County Wisconsin Trip

My GF and I just completed a trip to Door County in Wisconsin this past weekend. Door county is Wisconsin's thumb that separates the Green Bay from Lake Michigan. It was a great trip! Lot's of great food and shopping in Door County as well as terrific scenery!

Nicolet Beach at Peninsula State Park



Riding Through Peninsula State Park



Peninsula State Park overlooking the Bay by Fish Creek



My Dynagger at Peninsula State Park



Picture of Table at Outdoor BBQ place we visited. Best BBQ I've had since I was last in Kansas City!



Vintage Duesenberg at Car Show just outside our room. Not sure which model this is, but it's a truly gorgeous ride!



My lovely GF and riding partner next to the Deusenberg. She said she's gonna by this car when she wins the lottery. I offered no objections



Sunset by the pier in Sister Bay



Another pic of the same Sunset a few minutes later



Shell covered beach near Bailey's Harbor. We found this with a little exploring and were totally alone on the beach.

The BBQ place is Casey's BBQ and Smokehouse in Egg Harbor. It was excellent! I typically judge a BBQ place by their brisket, and Casey's brisket rocks!

Great pics, thx for sharing. I love Door County too, and we have always camped at Peninsula State Park. I want to hotel it next time...where did you stay and what did you think of it?

We had free lodging at the Sister Bay Yacht Club courtesy of a freind, so I'm not sure what it might cost. It's a really nice place just off the main park in Sister Bay, close to the swim pier and all the toy rentals places. We had a three bedroom condo that could easily sleep a large family. It was quite nice. The condos in the Sister Bay Yacht Club are for rent when the owner isn't using them, but they fill up pretty quickly over the summer.

We visited Stock Harley Davidson in Manitowoc on the way up. I realized I had forgotten some bug cleaner and wanted to pick some up. I always try to at least get the worst of the bugs off the bike every morning while my GF is finishing getting ready. Stock was a pretty cool place, with a bunch of old motorcycles hanging from a track on the ceiling and revolving around the showroom. Quite a few bikes to look at, and they had the new Enfield bikes, too.
