It was great to be able to join the Big Bike Trip for a few days.  It was the latest of many road trips I’ve enjoyed with Kevin & Suzi starting around 1978.  Suzi & I trace our road trip history back to the early 60’s in the family Rambler American.  I credit our parents with making us good road warriors and “troopers”.  May the tradition continue. 🚗🚴‍♂️

Hannah and I enjoyed our first trip out of the PNW in over a year; rural northern Wisconsin was a definite change of scenery.  Lots of trees, lakes, small towns, farms, friendly people and bugs (friendly and otherwise).  Though we did not see any live cows in dairy country, I suspect they are all staying in their air conditioned barns.  Life-size cow decor was plentiful.   We did not contribute to the biking odometer but gave Suzi a break from daily truck and trailer management and some of the cooking and cleaning, between ice cream stops.  My favorite ice cream: Lemon Bar! Best campsite: Indian Shores on Lake Tomahawk where we got in some Jet Ski time on the lake. Best restaurant: Mavericks Restaurante Mexicano in Woodruff, WI.

Wishing you favorable roads, winds and camp hookups for the duration!  See you in South Dakota. Kathey
