Up North :: Day 03

It was another day for celebration -- Father's Day! We needed to be out of the cabin pretty early, so headed into Iron River for breakfast at Main Street Cafe. Perfect diner food. Plus, right outside was a car show that spanned several blocks. We wandered the car show and stopped in antique stores before parting ways. Brian had picked up a flier with local waterfalls, so we decided to hike to Chicagon Falls. It was a good pitstop before making our way to Eagle River, WI. We walked around before stopping at the grocery store for some supplies. From there, we made our way to Franklin Lake Campground, our home for the next couple of nights. It may be one of my favorite places we've ever stayed. We were the only van I saw, and a couple sites had tents on them. Otherwise, most of the sites were occupied by RVs. Our site, and many of them, are right on the water. It was spacious, flat, and had gorgeous views. The only downside to the campground is that it doesn't have showers, and most of the bathrooms are pit toilets. Luckily, we were near one of the few real bathrooms, which I appreciated. The facilities were rustic yet clean. I was really impressed. Brian and I rode our bikes around the campground, and dined on cheese and crackers that night. It was perfect.
