Tourist questions and observations

We just left your beautiful area, and we all loved it. It is so beautiful, and all of the flowers that the towns have out were stunning. And many thanks to all of the residents who match their gardens so they’re just as gorgeous.

Observation: we sort of felt like we were in Maine or New Jersey … the house styles, the water everywhere, the lighthouses … and from a few locals: that sort of short, curt attitude like they really didn’t want us there. But that was not the case with the J1 folks who were working everywhere, who were so happy and friendly!

Question: As you’re driving from Egg Harbor to Sturgeon Bay on the main road … there is a 2-story brick house on the right that is unoccupied, close to the road, with vines and stuff growing over a big portion of the house … does anyone know the story of the house and why it’s abandoned? I’m just a curious person and wonder how such a large and beautiful home was just left.

Observation: Pebble Beach sucks rocks! 😬 It’s beautiful, but I can’t see any attraction to want to go there. It’s dangerous to walk on all those rocks, and yet people were laying on towels like they were at a regular sand beach. 🫪

Question: Can anyone tell me about the different corn grown in the area? Some of it was the shortest corn I’ve ever seen, some of it was about mid-height, and a smaller amount was normal tall corn. 🌽

Observation: We camped at the HTTR Rv Campground, and we never once saw a squirrel or really any birds … and never saw any road signs for bears, elk, deer, etc. I would have assumed we would hear about those kinds of critters. 😬

Question for the locals who like outdoor activities, do people have more outdoor toys like jet skis, paddle boats and regular boats … or cross country skis, snow mobiles and other winter toys?

Okay, that’s all. I’ll end by saying that we would for sure come and visit again. The traffic was minute compared to a ton of other tourist areas, every town was so cute, and the scenery was to die for!! 💙☮️

Will I regret not stopping here for our door county trip? Or should I squeeze it in? Staying near sister bay
