Sept 2 thru 4th





Sat 2nd We drove back to Green Bay to see more of the city and have lunch at a cafe that was recommended by a worker at the Stadium. It was suppose to be the best hamburger in Wisconsin. What a disappointment I think the cook was the same one that started the place in 1929.
Sun 3rd Today we packed a picnic lunch and went to the harbor and watch the fishermen while we ate our lunch. Wisconsin allows a fisherman to have 3 fishing rods in use, it didn't seem to help because we didn't see any caught using the 3 rods. After lunch we walked out on the jetty and saw a fisherman using one rod catch a 8 pound Coho Salmon. It was nice and bright I wonder if fresh water Salmon taste different?
Mon. 4th We are leaving Wisconsin tomorrow for Iron Mountain, Michigan. Today we finished our excursions in Wisconsin by going to the city of Manitowoc. Most of the Wisconsin Ports have maritime Museums but this one is suppose to be the best. Manitowoc Ship yard had built Submarines during World War II so they had a submarine to tour. It was quite interesting hearing how they really functioned and it wasn't as roomy and glamorous as the movies show. Sharon thought the galley was cute (picture) and the eating an sleeping quarters were tight and cozy.(a woman's point of view) It made our home on wheels really seem large.
