We drove south through Duluth and into Wisconsin today.  We are headed to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.  We stopped at the Northern Great Lakes visitor center and got some information.  Jim bought a book from the gift store about geocaching.  We also found a geocache here,  then we drove to Washburn and got an RV site at the city park on Lake Superior.  After unhooking the Casita we drove to the main visitor center in Bayfield and watched a movie about the Apostle Islands.  From Bayfield shore you can see two of the 22 islands – Madeline and Basswood.  Several of these islands have primitive campsites that can be reached by boats, kayaks, or ferries.  Then we went to the Sand Bay visitor center.  From here you can see Sand Island and York Island.  When we left, we drove to South Shore Brewery in Ashland and had a beer.  After supper we found a geocache behind the trailer on a small bridge.  We walked down to Lake Superior and I went wading.
