State Parks- Potawatomi

Well the weather held out for us on Saturday but like I mentioned most of Sunday was a wash out. Though it did stop for most of the time we were at Cave Point County Park. Once again I know we crammed so much into one weekend like we did when in Dubuque, but I didn't feel as rushed this time, I think only because every thing is so close to each other in Door County. The weather did stop us from going to Washington Island and RockIsland State Park, both obviously require a ferry to get to.

Potawatomi State Park was our first state park that we stopped at. We picked up our state park sticker and went on our way. We went up the tower and got to see a great vies of the park and some islands.
