Wisconsin camping 7-10-11

The truck in Bayfield is a 10 minute dive. There should be a yellow poly line leading to a feeder line to the truck.

The old pier behind the fish market (left of the beach - no diving) is worth the most time and it's mostly a lot of boards but you should be able to find artifacts.

Fin McCool is a barge and worth a look if you can get to it and bring a flag and stay out of the channel to the harbor, it's within feet. search for the old post, I had some details about it. You could do the Fin and the Truck on one tank, truck first. Then re-rack for the old pier.

I don't think you can get to any cave from shore. The only ones I've see are from the ice out of the park in the Northwest and we walked a few miles on the ice before getting to anything resembling a cave. The cliff blocks any shore entry for miles. The north tip by Raspberry is private reservation and vis is very poor from the river. Just west at Little Sand bay has a parking lot and a nice beach but it too is off limits or at least the locals think it is and chase you away. I've swam a long way in Little Sand bay and it is, all sand and the rocks are only interesting above the water. If you know of an entrance please post it.

The best place may be Big Bay park on Madeline island but I've only been there during winter. Nice trails for winter snow shoeing but the beach could be a real nice time during the summer. I think the park fees are high but we did have a good time tromping around the snow and ice. There is nothing else on the island to see.
