Living in the Lighthouse on Rock Island - Oct 12, 2009 - 1:18:21 PM

Nick and his family lived here in the lighthouse for a whole week!

Hi, my name is Nick. My family and I stayed in the Potawatomie Lighthouse on Rock Island this summer. This is what it was like.

First we took the car ferry to Washington Island. One thing you should know about Washington Island is that everyone waves at you. Next we took another smaller ferry over to Rock Island. Once we got to the island we loaded our gear onto the DNR's four wheeler and rode to the lighthouse along a small dirt path. This was a highlight of the trip!

Camping in Door County - Get Back to Nature - Jul 26, 2009 - 6:34:46 PM

It’s that time of year – the temperatures are getting warmer, the sun seems to shine brighter, and the last day of school is inching closer. Summer is just around the corner! And with summer, comes vacation.

Perhaps this year, a trip to Disney World is out of the question. Perhaps the idea of spending a couple hundred bucks for a night or two at a hotel is a tad too much. Perhaps you’re struggling to put together a plan for your family this summer. Perhaps you want a romantic getaway with your sweetie.

Why not go camping?
