In Dairyland, not the same as Disneyland


Above, is Carla, Deb, and Vicki heading into the staqte of Wisconsin.

The picture below left is near the headwaters of the Mississippi River and the one on the right is a couple of days later.



We have gone into Wisconsin and now today, we have moved into the Uppper Pennisula of Michigan. The weather has been rainy for two of the past three days and was pretty humid today.

The fireworks in Hayward, WI were late, as the sun doesn't set up here until after 9 pm. I didn't stay up to watch. The next night, in Minocqua, WI the fireworks were cancelled for the second evening, and I didn't experience any fireworks this 4th. There have not been any fireworks among the guests, becuase the cohension has been very good. People support and encourage each other nicely.
I am not riding as much I would like, because I am one of two leaders currently on the trip. We need two vans on the road at all times. Dick and Carol, the owners, will be back next week. The roads have been better, with some nice rollers through the Northwoods.
The dynamics of the group has changed alittle. One person has completed the portion he was here and 4-5 have joined our ranks for a varied number of days. It has been interesting keeping track of 23-28 people on the road, spread over as much as 40 miles.
I am enjoying the scenery, roads, and people I interact with on a daily basis. Have had the chance to see a couple of friends and relatives so far and hope to see a few more before the trip is over. I spent the layover day in Brinerd, MN with a friend from the Denver area and his inlaws on a small lake. We went out on their boat and had a great time seeing good friends.
Our next layover day will be at the end of this week and I'm looking forward to the time on Mackinac Island.
