Fourth of July Ashland, Wisconsin

Our 2005 Lake Superior Circle trip concluded in Ashland, Wi on the afternoon of the 4th. We've long wanted to dine at Hotel Chequamegon so we decided to make their parking lot our base of operations.

Before dinner, we took a stroll along the breakwater of the Harbor.

We had hoped to dine on the hotel deck overlooking the lake, but shortly after we sat down, the rain drops began . . . and soon chased us inside.

Molly Cooper Restaurant and Lounge

But the rain didn't affect the ambience of the Molly Cooper Lounge and we still had a great lake view. Nor did the rain dampen the taste of the planked Wallaye dinner and the 'Marys' and snits that accompanied our meal!

After dinner we enjoyed a 4th of July Memorial concert by the Ashland Orchestra.



The music with the setting sun as a backdrop was something special. > > >


At nightfall we returned to the deck off Molly Malones to catch fireworks over Lake Superior. A 4th of July I'll not soon forget and made even more special because it was my birthday too.
