Lots of destinations have moved to pledges to engage visitors (and residents) to respect the culture and environment of their special place.
This one touched my heart.
Door County is where I spent a few weeks every summer from the age of 7 to 34 (when parenthood broke the streak). It's where I learned about nature, great books, the joy of a summer rain and the coolness of small towns (and goats on the roof).
Door County is a magical place. I often tell clients that I wish they could be seen as Door is. When someone says they are going to Door County for the weekend, the inevitable response is, "Really? Where?"
Because every town is so different. Tell me your town and I know who you are. If you say Bailey's Harbor...I'll know we're gonna party all night. If you say Ellison Bay...we're just gonna chill.
We haven't been back for too long. COVID was a part of that, to be sure. But the congestion and lack of respect by new visitors was part of it, too.
Congratulations to Destinations Door County for reminding us all to take care to preserve this sensational place.
And...we'll be back soon.
