went to appleton wisconsin yesterday

See you Friday night, Scooter Bob and Karen

[eusa1]

[eusa1]

And you didn't stop by???

 

See you Friday night, Scooter Bob and Karen

 

we were up that way for a dr. appointment and ran short on time:fiddle:

[bryan52577]

OK, getting antsy, can't sleep, Lisa is in the kitchen baking, trying to waste time till day-light and says we are leaving then and to find a loooonnngg way there so we get more riding in. Now how can I argue with that?

 

We should be at the cabin around 3:00 to 3:30 ish. I'll get a fire going and start some chili for anyone that wants some.

 

Talked with Ken and we thinks the rides should start at 10:00 am Friday and Saturday so some of the chill will be gone and not get anyone toooo cold.

Not sure what Ken has, but my ride will be approximately 150 miles with the option of another 25 miles depending on time. Lunch will be at the Casino (buffet) in Marquette, IA, and there will be a stop or two at a couple of Orchards along the way after lunch. "My ride is NOT fast paced, some may call me poky but we tend to enjoy the scenery not how fast we can get from point A to B." (This is my first time really putting anything together for a group that I have "never" road with. So if some think it is to short or to long or has any suggestions for anything, please let me know. I would like to do this again next year too, if people like it.)

 

See you there,

Bryan

Good morning we's gettin ready for another B-E-A-T-I-F-U-L day of riding in the Kickapoo Valley. for any one comin over on sat we will meet at the BP on Hwy. 61 on the west side of Readstown. Ride starts at 10 am See ya there

[Scooter Bob]

Is it 4 o'clock yet????

 

I got home from work at 3:15, by 3:25 the bike has been unpacked from work and repacked for the trip.

 

Just waiting for Karen to get home, and we'll be on our way.

 

If she gets done on time, we should be there around 6:45 (including a stop in Readstown for a case o beer and some soda for Karen's whiskey)

 

Later, Scooter Bob

I would love to have joined up with you all for the weekend but it is just not in the cards, (or wallet).

 

I hope there will be lots of pics and stories to share with those of us less fortunate.

Met up with the leaf lookers today as they were getting back to there cabins. Brian could not have ordered a better weekend. Sounds like they were having a great time wish I didn't have to work today it would have been a great ride. We visited with them for about an hour and then headed home. Want to thank Mike for his offer to stay Thank You Mike. Didn't get to meet everyone but hopefully this may become a yearly event. Thanks Brian

[920shrek1]

Home safe and sound I would like to take you all for coming over weather it was for just one day or the weekend had an AWESOME time :clap2:. It was nice to see some old friends and meet some new one's hopefully we can make this an annual event..(what you all think about that?) and a special thank's for all those who helped me out in my time of need I guess the thing that hurts the most is my pride. 1st time in 35 years of riding that happen to me! I sure am thankful for having such wounderful and what i would like to call dear friends around at the time. God bless you all and if you all need a place to stay if you are in the area PLEASE call me have lots of extra room:smile5: THANK YOU!

[Scooter Bob]

Damn Ken, you must have made good time, you beat us home!

 

Kudos to Ken and Bryan and Lisa for setting this up. Great Idea!

 

By the time we got done with breakfast and shopping at Franks, it was almost noon. We headed North out of Readstown on 131 and kept taking every little backroad that sort of went in the homeward direction. 1 hour and 40 minutes later we finally found a town big enough to have a gas station to get a bottle of water.

Then we went to North Freedom to the Mid-Continent Railway Museum and looked around and took a little train ride.

 

Had supper in Baraboo and finally had to head home.

 

We hated to see such a wonderful weekend come to an end.

 

Hope everyone else makes it home safe and sound, and looking forward to next year!

We made it back a little while ago as well. 636 miles on the odometer for us over the weekend. It's been a while since I've put on that kind of mileage.

 

We had a GRRRRRRRRREAT time! It was awesome to finally meet some of the members of the wonderful forum.

 

Jeannie, IH Truck Guy, Cupcake, & I all made a detour on our way home and stopped in Durand for a drink and a bite to eat. Then Jeannie & I showed the other two the back roads back to their house and we got the tour of their new home.

 

Now to find a "ticker"! Only 360ish days left until the next Leaf Looker Run!

[a1bummer]

How's this? We'll just have to figure out the date for sure. I just picked the second weekend of October again.

 

Bill
