Today we scoped out the east coast of the peninsula which consists of Baileys Harbor and, well, Baileys Harbor. We were really trying to find a restaurant that some friends told us about, but nether of us could remember the name so -- we sought information at the Information Center of Baileys Harbor. When we told the nice gentleman behind the counter that we were looking for a restaurant that sold particularly good reuben sandwiches I think I saw his eyes kind of glaze over. Tourists! You can't live with them, you can't live without them. He put on his best game face and listed all the restaurants he could think of. None sounded familiar. What to do, what to do. Take out the ol' cell phone and call, right? Right. The name of the restaurant was the Coyote Roadhouse -- not exactly what you'd expect on a peninsula. On the Great Lakes. In Wisconsin. Anyway, we soon found it and it looked like an interesting place but we were looking for something on the water. Big water. So we toddled on...
South of Baileys Harbor we found Cave Point Park. Just a bunch of rock formed, oh, a little over 400 million years ago. The same rock ledge extends all the way over to Niagara Falls. In fact, it's called the Niagara Escarpment, interestingly enough. Very cool. You can see more pictures here in our album for today and a video below.
On our way back to Ephraim we stopped at the Harbor Fish Market & Grille in Bailey's Harbor. It was described as "waterfront" but once again we were sitting in dirt a little removed from the water. Still we could see water (big water) and the food was good. No cherry margaritas but they had Goose Island beer ("Get Goosed with Goose Island Beer) so all was well. The highlight, however, was the fish tank in an old TV. See the video for a real hoot...No theater tonight. Read a little more of Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams -- the fifth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Did you catch that? Fifth book in the trilogy? Pretty humorous. Off to Sturgeon Bay tomorrow...
