The Black Pearl Adventures: BACK TO THE DOOR

During our travels of six years Rving, we are beginning to find our favorite spots in the USA and have started returning to them. It could be the location, the scenery, maybe the food, but more than anything it’s the people we meet in these places that bring us back. Door County Wisconsin is high on our list of favorites!

Coast Guard Station Sturgeon Bay

Fish Creek Village

Sister Bay

Fish Boils Every Night Somewhere

The Goats on Top of Al Johnson's

A Good Place for Ice Cream

And Eating It!

Fish Creek

Bailey’s Campground on the “quiet” side of the peninsula is our little haven while there. Here, two years ago, we met Ben and Sue…the Texans with Tennessee ties. This year we were once again parked right next door…due to Ben and his influence with the campground owner…we got our favorite site!

While here we got to do lots more with Ben and Sue…breakfasts at Al Johnson’s and the Sandpiper, Bluegrass in Sister Bay, a night with the Big Band Sound at Birch Creek, dinners out at the Nightingale and The English Inn, happy hours and cookouts, and to top it all off, viewing the Tall Ships as they sailed into Sturgeon Bay!

The Tall Ships were a special treat. Ben got us up close when he pulled rank on the young Ensign at the gate entrance to the Coast Guard Station. We got the best seats in the house...right along the seawall where the ships came through the canal!!

During our stay at Bailey’s, we also met two couples who we hope to see this winter…Jim and Marilyn from Tennessee, and Ron and Joan from Wisconsin. Both couples winter in Florida.
