THE WISCONSIN TRIP

ON OUR OUR TRIP TO WISCONSIN WE MET MARK & JAYNE IN INDEPENDENCE, IOWA FOR LUNCH. THEY WERE RETURNING TO DES MOINES FROM A LONG WEEK-END AT YELLOW RIVER FOREST.

ON OUR FIRST EVENING WE STAYED WITH MIKEY AND ENJOYED OURSELVES IN HIS MAN CAVE. BILL STOPPED OVER WITH A GALLON OF BLUE GILL FILLETS AND FRIED FISH UNTIL WE WERE MORE THAN FULL.

THE NEXT DAY WE SAW TODD & DI FOR A MINUTE, AND STOPPED IN BOSCOBEL TO LOOK IN ON MARY’S 96 YEAR OLD MOTHER. WE ENDED THE DAY IN LA CROSSE WITH MARY’S FAMILY, MUSHROOMS, AND A BUTTERSCOTCH MALT !!!

YESTERDAY WE TRAVELLED TO SPOONER WHERE I’LL STAY FOR A WEEK WITH UNCLE HANS, AND MARY FIRED UP THE OD’S CADILLAC TO RETURN TO HER FAMILY IN LA CROSSE. WE TRAVELLED THROUGH CHETECK, WI ABOUT 1 PM JUST 3 OR 4 HOURS BEFORE THE DEADLY TORNADO WENT THROUGH THERE.

THANKS TO MARK FOR THE YELLOW RIVER TROUT WHICH WE FRIED UP IN SPOONER TO GO WITH WITH OUR STEAK AND THE LAST OF THE MUSHROOMS.

THE RAIN IN SPOONER HAS ME QUESTIONING THE WISDOM OF DRAGGING THE SCOOTER ALL THE WAY FROM ARIZONA TO WISCONSIN…….
