Mom has always wanted to take the ferry to Washington Island, a 35 square mile island lying off Door County peninsula.  The watery trip included safe passage through Port des Morts or Death’s Door. Legends surrounding the turbulent currents between Lake Michigan and Green Bay began with the Indians who navigated the narrow channel in their birch bark canoes.

Schoolhouse Beach whose stones are rare and special to the Island heritage was not dog friendly.

Here were are waiting for the ferry.  Mom takes no chances. ~ Indy and Lucy
