When we left Appleton the weather was near 90 degrees and it was extremely humid. Even the gulls decided it was better to sit than fly!
The lake breeze did make it more comfortable but it was a hazy day.
This is a particularly beautiful trail to ride as the citizens have adopted sections and planted wonderful flower beds.
Manitowoc and Two Rivers pretty much merge into each other.
Crossing the West Twin River in Two Rivers.
Two Rivers has a very large sandy beach and many people were enjoying the cool waters on this hot day. We took a quick dip and then resumed our cycling.
Not too far out of Two Rivers we began the Rawley's Point Trail which is not sealed but weaves and winds its way through 5 miles of wooded land that we think is part of the Point Beach State Park.
It is a fun ride with many ups and downs and curves. We thought we might see some wild life ... perhaps they heard us coming and scooted?
This old log cabin has been preserved.
The trail led us to the beach area at Rawley's Point. This is another expansive sandy beach.
The park has a large concession pavilion at the beach.
We took a paddle in the water but there was some algae growth so we did not feel like a dip and it was about 5:30pm so we figured we should be heading back.
We had read of Berner's Sundae store in Two Rivers - where supposedly the sundae was invented. We stopped in for an ice cream treat. The building is a former luxury hotel and is now a museum.
We toured the museum which featured different rooms with period themes for several professions.
Here is the barber shop of the day.
The dentist surgery - thank you God for advancements in dentistry!
I liked this period kitchen. We also learned that Charlton Heston's wife - Lydia Clarke Heston was a citizen of Two Rivers - her ancestor was Hezekiah Hamilton - one of the founding fathers. Evidently it was not unusual to see Charlton around town when Lydia would visit.
Caught a nice sunset as we were driving back just before Reedsville.
