We made it to Door County. We really didn't have time to get settled before we had to start right in with our new jobs. Our first assignment is helping with the finish work on the main bathhouse that is being remodeled. Jim has been enjoying seeing his "office weenie" wife do real physical labor. I was using a power sander on the ceiling, a scraper on old peeling paint, etc.
We have Wednesdays and Thursdays off so we finally got out to see some of the surroundings. We found our first lighthouse in Peninsula State Park. It is Eagle Bluff Lighthouse. There are a total of 10 lighthouses around the shoreline of Door County. I hope we get to see them all. We also found a boat ramp we can use to launch our boat into the waters of Green Bay. It seems so small after using the huge 10 lane one in Elephant Butte. The waters of Green Bay are 15 miles wide and 90 miles long. Luckily the fishing is supposed to be good not too far out from where we will be launching.
We are at Door County Camping Retreat. The campground is very large with over 250 camping sites. It is pretty heavily wooded and each campsite is surprisingly large. Right now a few wildflowers are beginning to bloom. It should be beautiful here when everything buds out and is blooming. Our campsite is nice with trees, grass, a picnic table and a fire ring. Very different from our cactus and gravel campsite in New Mexico.

Uh, Door County? What are you doing working in Door County? (Oh my gosh! It only took me about 8 months to figure out how to leave a comment!)
