Sheboygan is a city with a population of 50,000 or so. That would make it about the size of Saginaw but without all the problems of Saginaw. While people complain about crime in Sheboygan if they took one trip to Saginaw they might see their little town isn't so bad afterall.
Afterwards we took a walk on the boardwalk that follows the Sheboygan River out to Lake Michigan.
At the end of the boardwalk (the Lake Michigan end) is a large park and at the north end of the large park is a pier that goes out into Lake Michigan.
Now I have to ask "Who doesn't like to walk out on a pier into one of the great lakes?" Whenever I see a pier I feel as though I need to take a walk out to the end of it. I love the smell of the great lakes, the sound of water hitting the pier and the sheer expanse of the water.
When I look across the water I always wonder what is going on on the other side. Last night when I looked across the water I thought about Sarah and the nuclear plant she works in. I think if you look to the south (to all you directionally challenge people out there that would be to the right, at least here in Wisconsin) you can see Sarah just leaving work at the plant.
This was a perfect night for a walk out on a pier, sun was shining, slight breeze, just warm enough so you didn't have to wear a jacket, and cool enough so you didn't work up a sweat walking.
Even the ducks were enjoying the night out.

What? You don't have bodies of water like this in Pittsburgh?
Bummer.
nice pictures!
did you know you guys had a nuke plant up there too? i'm not sure where it is in relation to you, but i know its on lake michigan.
how did I end up so far inland? i love water! Great pictures.
I know there are a couple of nuke plants here but that is about it. I was told where they were but I forget now, old age.
Wisconsin is all about wind power now, someday I am going to get pictures of one the wind farms and post them.
