Installment Ten
Every year we visit Anderson Dock in Ephraim. There has been a dock here since 1858 when Norwegian immigrants constructed the first one to aid in exporting local products such as cedar and salted fish.
Mom loves to takes pictures here because the old warehouse now the Hardy Gallery is such a colorful backdrop.
This fall Indy and Lucy will be among the names you see. See how snoopy we are.
We like to take one day and drive around the peninsula, go to our favorite places, check for changes, here a sniff, there a sniff. In looking for the place we are going to rent this fall, we stumbled on this.
Love the barn quilt patterns but often the barns are too far from the road to photograph without a telephoto lens. Remember, Mom only has an IPhone.
Mom and Dad took another boat ride around the Fish Creek area and Peninsula State Park.
Eagle Bluff Lighthouse… one of the 11 in Door County that have saved countless lives and guided ships to safety.
The limestone cliffs and caves of Peninsula Park are part of the Niagara Escarpment, a geological formation most famous as the cliff over which the Niagara River plunges at Niagara Falls, for which it is named. Cottage Row, exclusive Fish Creek realty, could be viewed on the way back to harbor. Often called Millionaire’s Row, this strip of shore side has been one of Door County’s most preferred addresses for the past 100 years when Chicago leading tycoons, magnates, and robber barons left their grand mansions on Prairie Avenue and established equally elaborate ones for summer on the shores of Green Bay.
The harbor at Fish Creek
Sunset viewing always gathers a crowd in Door County. This one is from the Shallows Resort in Egg Harbor.
Hope you have enjoyed a day in Door with us. ~ Indy and Lucy

History goes better with Scotties. You would like those goats on the roof of that restaurant.

Your peep really needs to write a book with all her fabulous pictures and information she provides! She should call it “Travels With Indy & Lucy Across America.” Subtitle: The two most well traveled Scotties!
We have enjoyed seeing and reading all about this trip since you’ve come back! Thanks a million!

We are thinking you should see if you can rent that giant place for about a dozen or so of your pals. It would be crazy fun.

I was wondering if Indy and Lucy had left a Paw-signature on the barn wall! They would be making important Scottie history to do it!
The gorgeous scenery of Door County just goes on and on, doesn’t it? The scenery is only enhanced by the very photogenic and perfect Scottie figures of Indy and Lucy! They may not always cooperate in posing for their pictures, but you sure got some really great shots of them. They are just so perfect and awesome Scotties! I LOVE the close-ups you showed here of them!
Thank you for filling us in on the history and interesting details of all the colorful barns, towns and restaurants, lighthouses, interesting names, flora and fauna, etc. of Door County. Truly a magnificent area! I did not realize that the Niagara escarpement extended all the way to Door County.
Thank you a bunch! It is most enjoyable to read your wonderful posts, and we love traveling with you and seeing places through your and Indy’s and Lucy’s eyes and experiences! Most of all, seeing Indy and Lucy there are the icing and cherry on the top of a masterpiece!
Love and Kisses and Arrooooooos!

I wish that I had seen the first and last pictures before my pastel art class today. They would have made beautiful subjects for a pastel piece. I did one similar to the last photo. I hope that we have another class and can use them as inspiration.
