I have always associated Peninsula State Park in Door County
with vacation and Nicolet Bay the center of that activity. So today was a
vacation day, we got some fuel this morning before leaving Egg Harbor and
cruised up to Nicolet Bay. The sky ahead was blue with a few light clouds,
however the sky behind was grey and rain laden. We arrived in Nicolet Bay about
11:15, set the anchor and the first drops fell as we were setting the anchor
harness. Radar showed that there was a line of showers that would pass through
that should be followed by clear skies and that was exactly correct. After
lunch and the shower passed we launched the dinghy and went ashore. The beach
was mostly empty as we walked through and over to the campsites, along bluff
road to the nature center and through the woods to the American Folklore
Theater. I enjoy seeing what people use for camping gear some is quite
makeshift while others bring Class A Motor Homes. I have been coming here since
the 80’s and have always enjoyed the State Park. The park begins to close on
Labor Day, the snack bar shuts down, but the camp store stays open until
Columbus Day in October. We returned to the boat for a Wisconsin Supper of
bratwurst and sauerkraut.
