Lansing Journal Publisher Melanie Jongsma spent a few days in Door County, Wisconsin, and made sure The Lansing Journal journeyed along to all the attractions.
Pausing at “one of the best spots in Wisconsin for a picture,” Melanie agreed that, in fact, Wisconsin does look better with The Lansing Journal. (Photo: Jean Racek)At Eagle Panorama in Peninsula State Park, Melanie’s dog Scout is not interested in holding the Journal for a photo. (Photo: Jean Racek)So Melanie instead holds the Journal herself and captures the view of Nicolet Bay. (Photo: Melanie Jongsma)Later that afternoon, Scout takes her copy of the Journal to the dog park to peruse.

(Photo: Jean Racek)Why this old car was parked outside of the Door County Ice Cream Factory, we don’t know. But it makes a great Journal Journeys photo.

Boilmaster Neil (background) not only boils the fish for diners at White Gull Inn, but also tells the history of the tradition in Wisconsin.

In May the season hasn’t opened yet, so The Lansing Journal takes the stage with Melanie. (Photo: Karen Racek)
