Lower Cato Falls County Park, WI

 Yesterday was our final sightseeing day out in the Two Rivers area. We had seen this park in the guidebook named Lower Cato Falls and thought that would be a nice little adventure out into the countryside.

 It was a nice little county park, but the falls were a little disappointing, more like steps than falls. With the mid day sun casting some harsh shadows it was all I could do to come away with the few shots that I got. Still not too bad, and would make for a nice picnic spot along the river.

The ride back to the rig was beautiful, farm after farm of what I think of when I think of farmland, red barns, silos and white farmhouses.

This will be our last post from here, tomorrow we start our journey back towards OKC for hopefully what will be a couple of quick appointments. We will be taking our time as usual, probably stretch it out to 5 or so days, no sense being in a hurry. That's all for now and we'll see you back here in a couple of days to see what other interesting sights we found along the way......................

Rawley Point Lighthouse, Two Rivers, WI

 With only a few more days left here in Two Rivers, it was another day of exploring. Yesterdays adventure took us to Point Beach State Forest and the Rawley Point Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1853 and is still in use today. The original brick lighthouse was dismantled in 1894 and the newer steel tower (from the Chicago Worlds Fair) was installed.
 

 Lighthouses are always cool to see. I understand this one is still in use and contains a residence, however they are very, very animate that you only view from a distance. Kinda disappointing since the lighthouse is touted as a tourist destination with in the park. Ah well, it was still a good day out!

 Interesting yard art we saw on the way

 Pretty cool mural at this buildings entrance.

Another view of town from across the East Twin River.

Tonight we're off to dinner at an old German Pub and Deli for dinner, should be fun and then another day of exploring tomorrow, before getting ready to head out. That's all for now, so until next time.......................

Two Rivers Photo Walks

We've been enjoying our time here at Two Rivers, a little bit of sight seeing and a whole lot of just hanging out. The park is almost empty, which makes it very peaceful and quite most of the time. We have been visiting  with Sheryl's niece and husband off and on when we can, but trying not to over do it either. The last couple of day I have found myself with time to kill, so a couple of photo walks were in order. Like we have mentioned many times before, we love small towns and especially unique small towns like this one. Here are a few shots from around the area, hope you enjoy.

The last three were from Manitowoc, the next town over. Including the S.S. Badger (largest passenger steamship in the U.S.) and the Manitowoc Lighthouse. A WWII submarine on display at the Maritime Museum.
There's really quite a bit to see here in this area of Wisconsin and we are just pacing ourselves to get it all in.
If you would like to see more of this area, you can check out our Flickr site, just click on the Gallery page to the right. That's it for now and we'll see you back here again.........................

Two Rivers Wisconsin's Fishing Village Museum

 Two Rivers like most old sea/lakeside towns was once a thriving fishing village. The modern Two Rivers has retained a small portion of that history in it's fishing village museum set along the river. The fog gave the village an eerie old time feel and made for some interesting shots.

 Old Coast Guard Boat

 Restored Lighthouse

 Foggy Boardwalk

 Low clouds the other day reflecting the city lights back onto the water.

 A couple of sunset shots from last night as the rain moved out.

The last couple of days we've just been staying in as the rain and fog made sight seeing almost useless, not to mention just good days to stay in and do a whole lot of nothing. We are enjoying our time here, today it's sunny and warm so were off to explore the Maritime Museum in Manitowoc and pop in on our niece at work.  Ok, thats it for now and we'll see you back here before long.................

Stop N Dock RV Park, Two River WI

 Home for the next two weeks is the Stop N Dock Marina and RV Park here in Two Rivers. We were quite surprised when we pulled in and saw only a handful of RV's in the campground, considering it was the beginning of Labor Day Weekend.

 As luck would have it, the second site from the water was open and our camphost hooked us right up with it. You can't ask for a much better view.

 Couple of shots from one of the docks. It seems this is not a very well known park or marina. Considering it's Labor Day Weekend and there is a large festival in town, the park is empty, but hey, that's fine with us!!!

We are here to visit with Sheryl's Niece and her husband, they stopped by to say hey after we got all set up. We were only going to stay a week, but after seeing how nice the area, weather and our site is we are going to extend our visit for two weeks. Nothing like the full timing life to make hard decisions like that.....lol

There is a lot to explore in this part of Wisconsin, so stay tuned and see what we come up with..................
