	First, I suggest you avoid the Dells which have buried all
    their natural beauty behind tour boats and water shows.
	I've been fishing in the northwest region, around the
    Chippewa river and Rice lake.  The fishing, boating, and
    scenary were quite relaxing.  However, for my wife who doesn't
    fish, I think the trip was excessively boring.  If you are
    interested, there are lots of private concerns that rent cabins
    and boats by the week.
	Our favorate area is in Door county.  The area has the 
    feel of the New England coast in the midwest.  The main town,
    Fish Creek, is too crowded for my tastes but does have a good
    selection of arts and crafts shops (some of it is of very decent
    quality).  The Peninsula Players produce excellent summer theatre
    in grounds that are quite pleasant.  Other popular highlights are:
	- the fish boils at the White Gull Inn (mandatory)
	- the Von Steil winery
	- Peninsula state park (lots of nice scenary, and decent camping)
	- Rock Island state park
    The last item is my favorate.  The island is tent camping only, has
    NO CARS, and can be reached by boat twice a day.  It has hiking,
    and a nice sand beach.  The sense of quiet late at night is
    overwhelming.  There are usually less than twenty people on the
    whole island (including a full time ranger, in case of emergencies).
    That's not to mention the deer that wandered into our campsite.
	The three times we've been to Door county have all been great.
    We usually combine some time on Rock Island with time sightseeing,
    which makes for a nicely balanced vacation. You can opt for
    camping, cabins, or old fashion(i.e. quaint and romantic) inns.
