top of the peninsula ridge offers
supreme views extending for many
miles.
"Cornucopia is a picturesque fish,
ing village of northern Wisconsin,
in fact the closest this northern
country can come to the older fishing
villages nthe northern coast. Its
houses are painted white and since
the inhabitants use wood for fuel
there is no SCOT or black smoke to
mar the villages witness.
"From the sand beach Of Cornu-
copia a real glimpse of the biggest
fresh water lake in the world can be
gained, bounded on one side by the
wooded shores fthe bay, and on the
other by the horizon. The real lake
breeze, untempered by contact with
the land, can be felt nthe sand
beach where the roar of the open
lake browns out all sound but the
hoarse cry of the sea gulls which
hover in hundreds. about the fishing
docks.
"F'rom Cornucopia to Bayfield,,
the road travels up and down hill at
times opening up, Unexpectedly, in
spring views Of the lake and the
wooded land.

established on the peninsula and

ARE already bringing in the cream
