Furthest northern point in Wisconsin, on Lake Superior.

Wow. I opened this thinking "What amazing place I'll never be able to go to was this taken at?", and apparently it's 2 hours away and I've been on the lake 5+ times.

Remember folks, you're always a short distance from unknown dope shit.

Right on! There’s a tour boat in Bayfield that will take you right out there in the summer months.

Putting it on the bucket list! Last I was out on the water there, we took a ferry (I fail to remember where we boarded from, but I'm guessing there's only so many options, haha), to Madeline island, and that was extremely cool. Did a handful of tours, too.

There are actual full time light house keepers out on Superior.

Small. Ocean.

Just barely! Devil’s is latitude 47.080 vs Outer at 47.077. This image was in December a few years ago. We missed our chance this year I’m afraid!

I guess near the devil is where I'll end up being then, cause damn, many of the beautiful places have devil in the name! I cant say Ive been to a beautiful place and thought, "this should reference a devil in its name."

Look on a map where Lake Superior touches a little bit of Wisconsin. There's some islands there. Its one of them.

If you look at it on google maps there's a bit of "street view" coverage along the north shore of the island that's really actually more "boat view". You can see how rocky the shore is from that.

Yeah, top of Wisconsin, squished between Minnesota and Michigan’s upper peninsula, we have these islands, two Native reservations, and ice fishing.
