BIRTH PLACE OF THE GIDEON BIBLE

Who says the WNRs ain't got religion?!  Sixteen of us departed Casey's on Wednesday night bound for Boscobel, Wisconsin, the birth place of the Gideon Bible.  With Earl, Howard, Chuck, Lois, Gary, Jim & Cathy, and Bob R on bikes, and Meryle & Mary, Dayton & Joan, and Wayne & Sandy on trikes, and Dale & Mike in a convertible we took HWY 9 through Lansing and across the bridge to HWY 35 south.  We followed 35 through Ferryville to CR E at Lynxville.  We turned east on E and followed it all the way through Steuben and on into Boscobel.  The views along the ridges were spectacular with green, and while E was under repair, we disappointed Chuckles by not having to "travel on gravel".

After arriving in Boscobel and not finding any Gideons, we stopped at the DQ for some mid-ride treats.  We departed Boscobel and onto HWY 60 headed for Wauzeka.  In Wauzeka we took CR N west back to HWY 27 south.  We had some beautiful green scenery to see along N also.  HWY 27 took us to Limery Road and west to CR K in Prairie du Chien.  We followed K along the river to HWY 18 and on across the bridge, through Marquette, Froelich, Giard, Monona, and on into Luana on the Edgewood Road.  In Luana we picked up CR X16 north through Hardin and onto HWY 76 outside of Waukon and then into Gus & Tony's for some very tough prime rib sandwiches.  I had 131 miles on the clock when I got home.

The "You Gotta Love Summer" Pizza Run is set for Sunday leaving Casey's at 11 AM.  We will be traveling through some neat Wisconsin back roads to the Hideaway Brew, Pub and Restaurant in Chaseburg for some mouth-watering pizza.  Everyone is welcome.  We stopped there on the way back on a couples' trip a couple of years ago.  We said the food was good then and we should go back.  So we are.  So far the weather man says warm and sunny.

Here's some photos of the Bible hunters from Wednesday night.
