    He didn't say and they don't have a site map so I can't even venture one of my, most likely mis/un-informed wild ass guesses. I imagine he heard the words, motorcycle and group and will stick us as far from the civilized people as he can.

    So yeah...down by the river. :lol3 Does your cousin (or whatever) from MN still have his van? You know, to park down by the river?

    P.S. You should call that Vikings loving ingrate and see if he wants to come along.

    Hey KLR,

    Will be camping for sure sat night.

    An early post said the group will meet up on Friday somewhere...didn't know where that was/is and if a campsite. If not, no big deal, I can get a hotel nearby, just let me know.

    As far sat night goes....I plan on being in no condition to ride a motorcycle, so will be camping one way or another.

    looking forward to it! Thanks for organizing!

    The plan is for those that can, to camp Friday night. Otherwise be at the camp ground for an early departure from the camp ground Saturday morning. I would suggest the last bike out by 9:00am, figuring about 5 to 6 hours riding and about an hour for lunch some where, and if we stop by the Doll farm to check out the trials. We are looking at a 7 or 8 hour day. Just my thoughts.

    Just so I know who is attending is it just going to be you, or you and others, and if so how many others?

    As Craig posted we will be at Scenic View the 17th and the 18th. I am just going to put you on the in list until I hear more from you.

    Everyone check the Initial post for updates. I will post them as they come and always update the initial post to display all of the current info.

    Looks like Zora is working that weekend.
    I should be able to make it though.

    I'm still in for a definite maybe!

    It's too far out to know for sure yet. But, if I make it, I'll be leaving Platteville at 6 AM Sat morning. Craig seems to think it'll only take me 1:15 to get up there. I'm budgeting more like 2.

    But, it's all dependent on whether I can get back to WI that weekend and more importantly whether my bike is back together!

    You guys are both west of me. I'll be heading that way from Newton IA. Are you riding to the start of the ride? When are you heading that way?

    Maybe if I can't convince the whole family to go visit the inlaws, I can just ride the bike there.

    Me too! Hoping it's just a timing issue on my part or otherwise to the shop it goes.

    Great pics! As I was looking through them, I noticed that Flying Saucer on the trailer. My cousin owns a welding shop and fabricated that. That, and a bunch of dinosaur skeletons. They are in a farmer's pasture between Dubuque and Hazel Green now.

    Right Here

    IF you drag the little street view guy to the south side of the road, you can put him on some uploaded pics. Here's one of em:
