Wisconsin inikeza izindawo zokugqugquzela abantu abathanda ukuzijabulisa nobuhle bemvelo. Njengoba kunamahlathi nemifula ezigodini zawo ezisenyakatho nezindawo ezinhle zamapulazi eningizimu, lesi sifundazwe siyindawo enhle nganoma yisiphi isikhathi sonyaka, sinamathafa amahle nemisebenzi yezokungcebeleka.
Enye yezinto ezikhangayo yi-Apostle Islands okuyiqembu leziqhingi ezingama-22 eLake Superior, ngasenhlonhlweni yaseBayfield enyakatho neWisconsin. Iningi leziqhingi lise-Ashland County, eduzane nedolobha laseLa Pointe.

Ubuhle bemvelo nokuzilibazisa kwangaphandle kuyizinkanyezi lapha, ezinemizila engaphezu kwamakhilomitha angama-50 enqamula iziqhingi kanye nabantu bomdabu bamabhere amnyama, izinkozi ezinempandla nezinhlobo ezingaphezu kwezingama-200 zezinyoni ezifudukayo. Leli paki lamanzi lihlolwe kangcono yizikebhe noma izindiza zamasivumelwano ezithathiwe okungenye indlela.
Lapho, amaKayaks abe yindlela ethandwayo yokuhlola lezi ziqhingi emanzini avulekile phakathi kweziqhingi ezisogwini lwesihlabathi. Indawo yokuqala ikakhulukazi idolobha laseBayfield (inani labantu abangama-600) ukuhlola ugu lolwandle lwelizwe kanye nokuhlela ukuvakasha kweziqhingi.
