GRAND KIDS, MY OTHER BROTHER DARREL, JAILHOUSE

MABEL'S FIRST FISH!!

This week Julie and I are "lucky" enough to have our daughter Beth's two girls for the week.  Obviously when they spotted the trike they had to have grandpa take them for a ride.  Afterwards Grandpa took them to his pond where they caught their first fish.  They were introduced to two great sports--motorcycling and fishing!  Grandpa's butt was dragging by the end of the day!

JUNE'S FIRST FISH!!

JUNE--AGE 5--FIRST MC RIDE

MABEL--AGE 2--FIRST MC RIDE

WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!

 Where was everyone?? Just when I thought I was going to be riding alone, Darrel from Decorah showed up on his yellow Gold Wing trike.  That make two of us on what turned out to be a beautiful warm, dry ride.  After waiting as Casey's for more to show up, Darrel and I headed out through Elon, up through Lansing, and up to New Albin.  We then cut across A 26 to HWY 76 and on through Eitzen to CR 17.  CR 17 took us up to Spring Grove for a break at Kwik Trip.

BUSY LOT AT K T

MY "OTHER BROTHER" DARREL

From Spring Grove we continued our journey down CR 8 (Locust Road) to Bear Creek Road where Darrel headed home, and I took BCR to Highlandville and then over to 76.  I took A26 again over to the Lycurgus Road and back to HWY 9 and Waukon.  Since I was alone, I stopped at Green Valley Getaway and visited with Dennis and Jens.  I had 125 miles on the Wing when I got home.  For those of you "with little faith", you missed a really nice ride with what turned out to be really nice weather!

JAILHOUSE RUN IS SUNDAY

I plan to leave Casey's at 10 AM on Sunday for a run up to the Jailhouse Saloon near Trempealeau for their excellent burgers.  Everyone is invited to ride along.
