The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down,
Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'
Guest blog (and guest lyrics!) by Antuan Randle El:
Reading this blog may lead you to believe that Montana has cornered the market in the beauty of the outdoors. Well, I am here to tell you that there is awesome beauty in Wisconsin. For anyone who thinks that Door County is the cat's ass, you should make the trip to Bayfield and the Apostle Islands on Lake Superior.
It is equally, if not more beautiful than DC, but without all the people -- especially uninvited guests from the flatland to the south. The downside is the 5-6 hour drive from Madison, but it is most definitely worth the trip.
There is also a fair amount of wildlife in Bayfield, as we were able to spot a whitetail fawn and a snipe.
We did not make it to Stockton Island, but it is home to the highest concentration of black bear in North America. We did make it to Madeline Island, as our daughter Madeline does her best Vanna impression.

Antuan,
The Dude thanks you for your submission. Nice photos. Scratch that, great photos. You are welcome to post here anytime. Or play quarterback. Or wide receiver. Or kick returner. Or audit my books.
You the man. Hope you had a great time with UJ today at the microbrew festival. You're making me miss 'Sconi.
Peace out

A.R.E.~I haven't been anywhere this summer yet, but your guest blog makes me want to take a little drive "up nort'." Very nice. And Madeline is a cutie pie.
