From Washington to Ellison Bay to Egg Harbor

Ellison Bay in the 19th century industries were lumber and fishing. Fruit growing was the prime commerce in the 20th century. Now  tourism keeps the area going.

The roads are quiet, but I still appreciate an sizable shoulder.

I stop when I see a pull off to enjoy the view of the bay.

The water is so inviting and refreshing. I also love the sounds of the waves against the rocks.

Fish Creek has century old general store. This area was originally a village site of the Menominee and Ojibwa.

The area was known for the great trout fishing and later the surrounding timbers were part of the logging industry. 

Scenes like this encourage home development. I like it just as it is.

Eagle Bluff Lighthouse was completed in 1868. It is 43' high and has been restored . Tours are available. In 1926 the light was automated.

Steps are hard for me, but I always enjoy the view from the top, This is in Peninsula State Park.

I made it to Egg Harbor. I wonder how it got its name? https://www.eggharbordoorcounty.org/about/history/ will give you the story.

Cupola House in Egg Harbor.

This house was built in 1871 by Levi Thorp. He used gold from the California Gold Rush to finance the construction and furnishings.  It is in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.  Today it houses an art gallery, cafe and gift shop.
