“Mr. Bones? Mr. Bones?
How do you feel, Mr. Bones?”
“Rattlin’!” “
Mr. Bones feels rattlin’. Ha ha. That’s a good one.”
ahhh, vaudeville!

Door county is the emaciated “thumb” of Wisconsin. Just ask any Wisconsinite where Door county is. They will hold up the back of their hand with their palm facing away, stretch out their thumb, point to it, and say, “This is Door county. Of course if your thumb actually looked like Door County you’d be a skeleton. Door county covers about 2,370 square miles, of that, most is water in the form of lakes and swamps. Door is surrounded on 3 sides by Lake Michigan and has over 300 miles of shoreline.  If it were not for a grumpy collection of anti-kayaker types it would be a paddlers paradise.

In just a few hours we’ll be driving north. Door is about 5 hours away. Well, less if you don’t have a child in the car. Still, any good traveler knows that half the adventure is getting there. The destination is only the halfway marker. Tomorrow I’ll be heading out on a day trip to Cave Point which has some magnificent rock formations and the rest of the weekend I’ll be teaching boat control, rolling, and more. All good. I’ll do my best to post some pictures here throughout the event. I’ll also pop in with little tidbits from the Door County Sea Kayak Symposium on Twitter. See you on the water!
