The northern tip of Wisconsin's Door Peninsula, less than 2 miles wide, is a secluded home to numerous wineries, wheat fields and picturesque lighthouses. From: AERIAL AMERICA: Wisconsin bit.ly/1ys7XCr
It used to be. Until around 1918 there was no highway. Most people that visited door county before that, went by boat. Up until that point, as I understand it, the only roads were made by logging companies. For the first 30 years of my life, from around 1984 to 2014 or so, I spent 2 weeks every August in Door County. I even met the last keepers of Cana Island light house as a child and napped on their couch, while my parents were outside stargazing with the keepers. Back then, it was still very much a bunch of small towns. Ephraim was the only resort town around, because that’s where the steam ships full of tourists used to dock. Later, Sister Bay and other towns would get more built up and start to match Ephriam in it’s built up resort heavy tourist trap vibe. Even so, the place still retains much of it’s original forest atmosphere, and towns like Fish Creek, and Baileys Harbor retain some amount of small town charm without getting too much like Ephriam. If you really want remote parts of door county, check out Rock Island, Plum Island, Chambers Island, etc.
I grew up near Door County. It's beautiful. Rural to be sure. Touristy minus the water parks and go-cart tracks. More geared toward fancy people who think they like wine and jazz. Not that remote though. You'd be a lot more lonely in North Dakota.
@@westtownshend5661 I know the above factoid because, every time I visit Copper Island country, at least 5 locals will spontaneously boast about it. My father was a Boston boy, who moved here when he married into a Wisconsin family- he loved Door County because it was the place in WI that most reminded him of New England (tho he never visited Bayfield, which is Wiscasset w/out the lobsters). I'd say that Door stands to Keweenaw, the way the settled MA coast stands to the much wilder Maine coast. Anyway, for a "remote" place Door County is sure crawling with Illinois license plates.
As a child I met the last keepers of Cana Island lighthouse and napped on their couch. It’s so sad how they were forced out, and how the cozy home has become a tourist trap.
My parents actually have a condo up there and my family has been up there to vacation on numerous occasions. I miss being there. It's so beautiful no matter the season!
Oh Please. Door County is a great place but hardly remote. Its just bad Wisconsin farmland with a lot of weekend homes owned by rich people from Chicago. My son fished out of Bailey's Harbor for years. More realistic there. Late supper at Weissgerbers after a long day on the lake.
+FirstTime Videos Prepare yourself for what I like to call Smithsonian Spam where they don't put out any videos for a week or two and then suddenly your sub box has 10 Smithsonian videos back to back.
Mi favorito programa son lo que son de paisaje y Aerial América ahora mismo lo estoy mirando pero me gustaría tenerlo en español para poder entender todos mejor me encanta este canal en tv 📺
Hi sir, may I ask you a question! Where are the most remote, isolated and less talked place in Canada? Sorry for my English as It is my second language
Joey Snow1 I know its beautiful up there. I live in Florida, and it doesn't get enough credit for its "wild/sparsely populated" areas. I guess I get jealous when I see those beautiful rolling hills.
American Patriot Traverse city, Alpena, Marquette, Manistique, Gaylord pretty much the whole west coast. Landscapes like sleeping bear dunes and pictured rocks, isle royal whitefish point. Can't beat it here
