Second Trip to Madeline Island for 2011 Day One


Friday
6-9-11

Gary and Warren picked me up just before noon and we hopped on 35W going north. Next we got onto Highway 8 going east and stopped at Eichten's which is not too far outside of Lindstrom, Minnesota. Crossed the Apple River and then picked up Highway 63 going north in Turtle Lake, Wisconsin. I remember having a blast inner tubbing on the Apple River as a kid. There's a casino in Turtle Lake and we noticed that Lynyrd Skynyrd was soon to play there. We got to Madeline around 6pm and briefly crossed paths with Dale as he was leaving to take the ferry to Washburn, WI for work. Gary, Warren and I had cocktails at the apartment and then went to to Beach Club for dinner.
