Description
Wine on the vine
Egg Harbor, Wisconsin
Some say Egg Harbor was named by Mr. Increase Claflin because in the process of retrieving a horseshoe out of the harbor, he found a nest full of duck's eggs. Some say it was named after a nest of eggs found on the shore by Door County's first settler. Others say it received its name because seagulls nested along the shore and one could gather a basket of eggs from their nests. A more appealing story is told in the Door County Advocate of April 26, 1862. The story indicates that a number of Mackinac boats left Green Bay to deliver furs to the trading post on Mackinac Island. The boats stopped at the yet unnamed harbor to rest for the night. While rowing ashore, there was a race to see who would reach the shore first. The village is named after a legendary egg battle that took place in our harbor

All stories behind the Egg Harbor origin are interesting, and thanks for sharing that info. I really love the grape clusters and the bark and greenery which makes for great contrast. One must be careful, however, when walking through a vineyard, as if you step on any grapes, they may let out a little "whine" LOL Nice shot and thanks for sharing.
