Kayaking
SnF will go on a guided day Sea kayaking paddle on Lake Superior to the Sea Caves on Friday Aug 24th with outfitter ‘Living Adventure’. Trip is limited to 12 people using tandem kayaks. If serious about going, make your own reservations NOW, 866-779-9503 tell them you’re with the group SnF. (The Sampson’s & D/M Carlsen already reserved for the 8am trip).
A second trip can be added leaving at a different time. Trip price is $99.adult + tax. It includes a tandem kayak, all gear, guides, instructions, and lunch. See PDF attachment for ALL the details, pre pay required. http://www.livingadventure.com/
Camping
SnF will be staying at ‘Apostles Islands Area Campgrounds’, ½ mile south of BF. RV, tent sites and 2 camper cabins are available.
Make your own reservations beginning 1/1/12 by check and US mail. See website for the registration form. We’ve stayed here twice. The owner is VERY picky and has strict rules about everything. It is very clean, has many shady sites and is really convenient to everything. It is not on the lake. A traditional SnF potluck and campfire on Sat. may NOT be possible here. Also Sat. eve we may be going to the Big Top live show. http://www.apostleislandsareacampground.com/
Other area attractions and activities but are not planned by us:
Biking
Around the challenging, hilly orchards near BF. http://bayfield.org/land_activities_bicycling.php
OR on Madeline Island where it’s easy and level. http://madelineisland.com/
Music/performances:
Live musicians/performances are at the ‘Big Top Chautauqua’, an intimate 900-seat, all-canvas, state-of-the-art tent theater. A free RT bus shuttle is available from many area businesses including the campground where we are staying. We love this venue and will likely attend the evening show Sat the 25th. See website for details and schedules. http://www.bigtop.org/
Golfing
Even if you don’t golf, this is worth a stop and cold beverage on the deck at the very scenic ‘Apostle Highlands Golf course’.

Hiking
http://bayfield.org/land_activities_hiking.php
How far away is Bayfield? Just far enough. Far enough to let you escape from strip malls. And drive-thru meals. And 3pm budget meetings. And all the other hassles, hype and "have-to's" of everyday life. Here, stress and schedules just sort of drift away on the sun-kissed waves of Lake Superior. And you can relax and re-charge in one of the most beautiful natural settings on Earth, let alone the Midwest. Try kayaking out to our famous water-sculpted sea caves. Catch the ferry over to Madeline Island or take a boat tour of the historic lighthouses on the other Apostle Islands. Hike out into the sunny berry fields and apple orchards to pick your own sweet, juicy bounty. Or just hunker down with a good book and savor the wide, soul-restoring vistas of the Big Lake. In Bayfield, Wisconsin, you'll discover a million things you'll want to do. And not one you have to do. http://bayfield.org/
There are many other great things to do in this area to numerous to mention them all. Hope you join us,
Marty & Doreen Sampson
