Door County Wisconsin Travel Guide
♫ March 20th, 2011 11:39 pmAccording to my spanking new GPS, I am nowhere. Literally. I am in a place that does not exist, for the second time in as many days. Door County, Wisconsin, with roughly 300 miles of coastline and quaint New Englandy towns, may be one of the most visible targets when it comes to getaways. But there are pockets that remain elusive, that confound even the latest in supposedly fail-proof technology.
To vanish into nowhere (“Not Found” in the blunt parlance of personal navigation devices), you first have to follow Wisconsin’s crooked-finger peninsula north toward the tip to Ellison Bay. Pass through the tiny fishing town off the main tourist track, follow Porcupine Road to Ellison Bluff Road, and then keep going, even though driving down this narrow, rough stretch of back street feels like one long wrong turn. Ellison Bluff Road ends abruptly in a glen just steps away from a view that’s the stuff of dreams—perhaps even nightmares.
Picture an eagle’s nest made of metal and bolted into the side of a sheer cliff. This is what Ellison Bluff County Park offers. There, a short hike beyond the end of the barely paved road, only a small steel boardwalk attached to the crumbly-edged bluff stands between you and the violently churning waters of Green Bay hundreds of feet below. If you fall, you might indeed be Not Found.
