The welcome sign could probably use a re-paint. Yum - the Bayside Restaurant serves up some fantastic seafood fare! The Smith Island cakes aren't too shabby either... smithisland03 smithisland04
This is Ruke's - it's everything you'd want from a place on Smith island. No frills, no expectations! I tried to get closer to the Smith Island historical marker, but I'd have been ankle deep in water... A tarp would be an excellent investment! Someone should start a Kickstarter campaign! Ruke's has everything you don't need, just part of the charm in being here.

Camp David Despite many "big name" National Park units in an around the D.C. metro area, Catoctin Mountain Park is often packed with area hikers. I love mossy forests, my favorite still being the woods of Fundy National Park in New Brunswick (Can.)
This is really the easiest trail in the park, a short walk to a nice view... These two took my view, so they made for a nice reference point in the photo instead. Camp David would in the general area to the right of these two, but can't be seen anywhere from along this trail or from any vantage point. Downtown Gettysburg, with the famous Gettysburg Hotel in the background. The town is only about a half hour drive from Catoctin Mountain Park.
St. Croix sign Sign at the Sandrock Cliffs portion of the St. Croix Riverway Breeah preps the picnic table. This was a great spot for lunch as it was right on the river bank. No signs in the area, but you can find it by taking the trail on the right (once you park at the Sandrock Cliffs lot) We tagged these as beaver tracks...are we right?
What's funny is the Sandrock Cliffs are easier viewed from the Minnesota side of the river (which is more difficult to access). Standing atop the Cliffs gives you a nice vantage point, though (not to mention this may be one of the higher points in western Wisconsin). Breeah stands near the cliff edge. Some interesting designs and pictures carved into the rock. I imagine these were probably done not long ago, as there were names, vulgarities and phone numbers carved into another nearby rock. Maybe a bit hard to tell here, but it's kind of a long drop from the top of the cliff to the river.
