I slept late this morning: 6:00. I still kinda took my time breaking camp; instead of taking three hours I took two. 🙂
I had a very nice but too-brief ride along the Fox River, but had to turn east to avoid following it into Green Bay (the city, not the bay… It must be confusing to live around here). After a confusing mix of farmland and subdivisions I made it to the east shore of Green Bay (the bay not the city) and started riding the smallest shorelinest roads I could. It’s not a very beachy shoreline, more limestone cliffs. I stopped at a tiny little park dedicated to the spot (somewhere nearby) where the French explorer Nicolet “discovered Wisconsin” by meeting the native leader Red Band and his people. Another stop was a county park with a steep drive down to a boat launch and token beach.
I had to get on WI-57 briefly, which reminded me of why I’m taking the hard-to-navigate route instead. That got me to Dyckesville, where I pulled in to the Sweet Seasons (a family-restaurant style place) for lunch.
