Well, summer has come to an end – sigh……  But it’s fun to remember the adventures of summer, isn’t it?    One thing we did was go dragon hunting in the sea caves on the southern shore of Lake Superior in                northern Wisconsin (how’s that for confusing south and north?).  Well, not dragon hunting exactly, more  precisely, it was dragon habitat exploring by sea kayak.  What a paradise of caves and arches cut into red      sandstone cliffs by the wind and waves of the largest lake in the world.  Mighty cracks that swallowed our    kayaks, great caves resounding with booms of the crashing waves, and keyholes that we squeezed our            boats through.  Lots and lots of caves!  In the winter they fill with icicles and ice stalagmites – the perfect      home for ice dragons!  In the summer??????  Perhaps the dragons have gone north to the Arctic to spend the summer…..The home they left behind is surely magical!  And for those of you that want to find the caves on the map they are called the mainland sea caves on Mawikwe Beach (part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore)  near Bayfield, Wisconsin.
