Sun Sign
It's common in Wisconsin to have a sign
marking the entrance to your property.
This is the original sign Jay spotted on Madeline Island that was the
inspiration for the 'Eve and Ruby's' sign |

There Really Are Ducks!
Designed as an amphibious vehicle for WWII duty,
many are now doing tour service in Wisconsin resorts |

Windsled
During the summer you take a ferry from the
island to the mainland town of Bayfield. In the winter, Lake
Superior freezes and you drive across. However there are a few weeks
in spring and fall when the ice is too thin, so the locals use this
unique form of transportation–a fan driven Windsled. |

Tom's Burned Down Cafe
It's just too funny. Tom's Cafe did indeed burn down
at one time but the witty signs survived. Just in case you can't
read these, they say, "15 speed drink limit when
children are present" and "Earth First!, we'll strip mine the other
planets later." Wicked. |

Greunke's in Bayfield
Mary, one of Jay's best friends and, the inspiration
behind the yellow sweater in "Back to Madeline Island" in front of
Greunke's in Bayfield, Wisconsin. The place for whitefish
liver dinners when you're in town. |

Andy's IGA Market in Bayfield,
Wisconsin
The snack isle to be specific. This is the exact
spot that Eve and Ruby bumped into Lilly in the first book of the
series, "Moon Over Madeline Island." |

Madeline Island Daffodils
What a wonderful April display. Being in a huge
inland ocean gives Madeline Island a somewhat more temperate climate
than other areas in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. Jay
later learned that the owner of this wonderful garden had actually
read his books. Thank you! |
