The Peninsula.....finally





Well we made it to Peninsula State park...Finally.  A camping weekend has been on the bucket list for many years. It is a great park and we were able to snag a "CoVid cancellation" and head up for a few days.  The weather was great, a bit cool but the beach was too packed for swimming anyways, so it was perfect.  One night we had a massive thunderstorm with some of the loudest lighting/thunder claps I had ever heard.  We were on the leeward side of the dolomite cliffs so there was minimal wind and that combined with the echos off the lake made for massive displays of sounds.  We spent an entire day biking through all the trails and ended at the ice cream shop.  We did a short and safe trip up the coast to the other small towns for some shopping.  Shopping was masked and limited but it was a nice break from the campsite too and part of the allure of camping in the door....as well as a Wild Tomato pizza for dinner.  We hiked over the ridge one evening to the lighthouse for the sunset and some had plans to see the sunrise....but I don't think that ever happened.
