Many people stay in Green Bay for the ease of finding a hotel, then make Door County their "day trip." It's only minutes away from Green Bay, but of course it'll take you longer to go all the way to the tip of Door County to catch a ferry to Washington Island. I'm glad you enjoyed my post! --Christine DeSmetChristine DeSmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04273725965797727759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-47121384962278989012013-06-20T17:36:54.013-05:002013-06-20T17:36:54.013-05:00Excellent post, Christine.

As a native Michigander, I've had opportunity to travel in and around Wisconsin, but the little finger of the state is an area I've never visited.

Plus we usually avoid areas that are too full of tourists. <br /><br />But your advice here makes me want to re-think that. Maybe someday we'll head up there. If you want to try making a sour cherry pie, I've put my family's favorite recipe on my website on the aptly-named page, "pies". <br /><br />Thanks for such an insightful view of what sounds like a great area to camp.

It makes me want to explore Door county. My mouth is watering over cherry-chocolate coffee and the booyah sounds lucious.
