Bad River Casino, Odanah, WI: July 28-29
Another casino -- this one with free hookups at the back of their parking lot, but quite a ways from all the exploring we wanted to do. We took a day trip over to the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center, just west of Ashland, where they have comprehensive visitor information on the region's cultural & natural history. This is a lovely facility with trails and informative programs -- we went on a birdwalk there with a pleasant young volunteer. We continued up the coast through the town of Washburn, arriving at Bayfield, home to the Apostle Islands Natl Lakeshore, where we looked around and booked reservations on a cruise through the islands later in our stay.
While driving through Washburn we decided to check out their city campgrounds and found one of them very much to our liking. We decided we'd rather be there, closer to the places we wanted to visit & more attractive to boot. Plenty of sites were available, since they didn't take reservations, and we made plans to move there the next day, before the weekend crowds arrived.
