RE GREASED!!

This last Wednesday a dozen of departed Casey's with a breezy 84 degree temp headed for one of our favorite stops, Greaser's Drive In in Guttenberg.  Wayne F and Dayton and Joan were on trikes, with David, Howard, Jim S, Jim & Cathy, Lars, Lois, and Bob R on bikes, and Dale in the support convertible.


WHO'S THE NEW GUY?!

LARS FINALLY GETS A CHANCE TO JOIN US


After leaving Casey's we headed west on HWY 9 to Old Stage Road passing through Fishville.  Old Stage Road took us to Yellow River Drive and then onto HWY 51 to Postville.  East of Postville we picked up the Gunder Road and breezed through Gunder and on into Elkader.  South of Elkader we took Grand View Road and through rush hour traffic in Communia and Garber.  At Garber we took the Garber Road (what else would you call it?) to HWY 52 just south of Guttenberg.  With the humidity gone out of the air, the views from Gunder, Grand View, and Garber Roads were fantastic.  I don't think it gets any better in Iowa!!  We turned north on 52 and on into Guttenberg for our stop at Greaser's.  Our WNR motto is "Life is short.  Eat desert first!"  Along the way Clair Riesberg was able to join us and pulled into Greaser's with the rest of us.

CLAIR ARRIVES WITH US AT GREASER'S

GASSING UP AT CASEY'S BEFORE FILLING UP AT GREASER'S


After our ice cream treats at Greaser's, we headed up the river road and past Clayton and Pikes Peak and on into McGregor.  In McGregor we followed HWY 18 through Giard, Froelich, Monona, and into Luana.  In Luana we took Diplomat Road past the Luana golf course and through Hardin to Forest Mills Road and finally onto HWY 76 south of Waukon.  In Waukon we pulled into Gus & Tony's where Jim G shared his cheese curds, and we watched Jim S try to gorge down someone's garden.  Bugsy also joined us for further entertainment.  What a great ride and great scenery!!  I had 120 miles on the Wing when I pulled into the garage.

HAPPY TRAILS TO WAYNE & SANDY AND DAYTON & JOAN AS THEY VENTURE DOWN TO ARKANSAS.  I'm envious.  Arkansas is a great motorcycle state!  We expect a full report upon your return.
