    Hey Marty & Sally, What I think would be cool, is to visit Death's Door and learn about the different sights that are offered. It is interesting to note, the different sights that are given to one. As a Titanic follower, I would like to learn about the different ship wrecks etc. It would be interesting to relax and take a few weeks and learn about the total sites! I am from Michigan, and it would be a good experience to learn about the history of it all! Good job Marty and Sally, a good job done my friends! ^5

    I remember having to turn around on a lakeside road because a winter lake storm tossed a huge chuck of snow/ice unto the road. They had equipment breaking it up to haul away. Was probably from the piles of snow pushed off the nearby parking area.

    I've been going to Washington Island since I was a Kid and have family who live on the Island. This was a treat to watch but at 5:05 in, you were correct the first time. That was Pilot Island and its always been a fancatation of mine with how the trees's and all the vegetation could no longer grow because of the Cormorant's that flock to the Islands waste. Plum Island houses a old Coast Gaurd Station that has a light as well but not like Pilot Island. Bummed you where not able to try some smoked fish from Charlies Smokehouse. Best fish next to Scotland, hopefully your next video wil be on Washington Island (A must visit!) and you can catch Charlies on the way home. If you do go to Washington Island you definitely need to hit School House Beach, Little Lake & Jacobsen's Museum, Jackson Harbor, KK Fiske's and the Grainery, Nelsen's Hall, and of course the mile and miles of beautiful roads and scenery. Washington Island is Wisconsins Heaven on Earth.
    Cheers

    My ancestors were fisherman, captains of big boats, anything to do with boats. So this is always interesting to me. My great great to the umpteenth great grandfather founded Chatham Massachusett. That was really cool going through the museum they have in Chatham. (Which incidently my mom grew up in) Now it's a museum.

    Thanks Sally and Marty for your review of Gills Rock! A suggestion, the next time you go through here be sure to stop at Bea’s Ho-Made Products on Hwy 42 just outside of town (the address is sometimes listed as Gills Rock-Ellison Bay). They have the best jams, jellies, pickles, assorted goodies and cherry pies. Their specialty is chopped cherry jam. Wow!😍

    This video is awesome! We cancelled our shipwreck trip to the UP via WI because we bought a house to downsize into and needed to spend a bunch to get the old house on the market. As of watching your video tonight the old house is under contract so maybe next year. In the meantime I will hang out with you and Marty. 😎
