The trillium (in pink and white) are unbelievable here across the whole peninsula. Everywhere we've traveled they cover the floor of every wooded area. Even in the areas with a lot of cabins --if the cabin owners left it natural -- the trillium are blooming. I think the blooms last longer here then I've seen in Minnesota.
The other masses of wildflowers we've seen are these pretty blue flowers. I forgot to look up their name. We found the largest carpet of them in Peninsula state park.
We went up to Northport again to get a better look at the ferry you can take to Washington Island. If you look in the background of the picture of the ferry you can see the lighthouse on Plum Island. We had lunch at the Northport cafe and watched the ferry leave the dock. Food was good - most places serve perch or whitefish sandwiches. The perch is very good and prices at this cafe were reasonable -- especially for having a water view.
We managed to get the boat in the water at least enough to test the motor. After traveling 1500 and some odd miles on some pretty bumpy roads it started right up. The weather wasn't the best with high winds and cold so we are still waiting to actually get on the water to fish.
