Since some of the roads we usually take back through Balltown were under construction with loose gravel, we took a new route in spite of Chuckles' protests. We came back through Cascade, Epworth, Graf (also called Farg by the locals), Durango, Sherrill, Balltown (The scenery with the leaves changing was spectacular!), North Buena Vista, Millville, and on into Guttenberg for an ice cream stop at Greaser's. A couple of us outdid themselves there also! We actually ate ice cream while sitting in the shade!
From there we continued along the river through Clayton, McGregor, Marquette, Harpers Ferry, Elon, and back to Waukon.
The good Lord gave us a beautiful day with unbelievable scenery to be best enjoyed from the seat of a motorcycle or convertible.
Depending on the weather, we have our regular Wednesday ride and on Sunday we are scheduled for the "Chicken Run" to Rockton. If you want to go along on Sunday and want chicken (they have other foods) let Bob know at least by Friday, so we can reserve the chicken dinners. Apparently they are having a banner year for the chicken in Rockton!
Here's a few photos and a video clip of our journey on Sunday.
