In planning for this vacation, I thought, “Gee, it would be nice to get out of the August heat in Virginia---like maybe some 70-75 degree days.”  Well, be careful what you hope for!  It has been around 60 degrees since we arrived in Door County, almost chilly!  Strangely enough, it doesn’t get much cooler at night; the range over a 24-hour period tends to be about 57 to 62.  It’s comfortable enough in jeans and lightweight fleece, but this was unexpected.

Dan commented, “Now it feels like we’re camping”.  And indeed it does.  We had a leisurely morning, heading out on the hiking trails around 11.  Ranger seems to have lots of energy in this cooler weather, and we walked about four miles before coming back for lunch.  Dan relaxed and read in the afternoon while I took my bike out on the Sunset Bike Trail for about an hour and a half.  Then….time to warm up around a campfire.  Dan grilled chicken and we sat out as the sun went down. 

We haven't seen many birds at this time of year.  Best sighting so far was a white pelican bobbing around in the waves on Tennison Bay. 

Again, no photos due to weak connection.  I hope to add them in the next few days.

Forecast for Wednesday:  SUN, finally!
