I'll start out by saying I always forget to take pictures when I ride. I guess I just don't want to stop. 
So, here's the best of what I have.
2200 Miles.
I rode north from Chicago, around Milwaukee, up 41 to Oshkosh. There is a great little store at the Slinger exit called Held's. They have everything in the way of smoked meat you could possibly want - Cheddar brats, Jalapeño brats, 1/2" thick-cut hickory smoked bacon, you can even buy the bacon as a whole slab, aged cheddar, homemade hot-mustard AND it's all family run. I almost set up camp in the parking lot. Of course I forgot to take a picture but it's right off the highway.
Just look for this:
I saw this on the north side of 41. It's at the experimental aircraft museum by Oshkosh.
Screwed around a Little NW of Oshkosh and found this place:
If you meet an extraordinarily hot, young blond with an “I’m-so-innocent” smile. Don’t shoot pool for money. That’s all I’m sayin… <_<
After that I headed up 22 to Shawano then onto 55 through the Menominee Reservation. 55 through the Rez is one of the best roads in Wisconsin. IMO.
The Wolf River:
Just north of Langlade is the “Wolf River Lodge” it’s an old lodge built in the 20’s. It sits right on the river.
The breakfasts are homemade and awesome. I was the only one there so they invited me into the kitchen where we made eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and toast. I didn’t get back on the road until after 11am.
From there I went up to Eagle River and took a left. There's a cool little area around St. Germain. Just be careful, there's a lot of Forest Rats around there.
I was getting close to Bayfield when I remembered to take a picture:
I camped just south of Bayfield, right on Lake Superior by the Apostle Islands.
That night, there was a bear right outside my tent. Of course, I wasn't really thinking about taking a picture, sorry.
Then it rained the rest of the night.
BUT, morning brought this:
Then up to Bayfield:
This was on the way to Duluth, Minn. just west of Bayfield:
I headed west, blew right through Duluth. What's up with the giant bridge? Way too windy when I went over that.
Turned North up 61. Found this:
I took another left at Illgen City and went up 1 to Ely. That was a great road. There are no shoulders and lots of curves so I didn't take any pictures. It's cold as hell up there in the National Forest. I saw some of these though:
From Ely I headed towards International Falls and got lost. I found this place though - Great Burger. Turns out, this was about 300 yaards from the road I was looking for.
Made it to International Falls:
Turns out the best thing about International Falls is the Dairy Queen.
Headed south from International falls and came across this:
And then this guy:
No free samples :angry:
Then this:
After four days on the road and camping, I stopped for this:
Bemidji, Minn:
Just southeast of Bemidji is Lake Itasca. It's the headwaters of the Mississippi River:
The beginning of the River is just this wide:
Somewhere in Minn:
No Idea Where this was:
Back to the Mississippi south of the Twin Cities:
The River gets a lot Bigger here:
After that I headed down to Madison WI To meet up with these Knuckleheads:
We rode SW wisconsin for a day and that rocked. The report is here CLICK
A tribute to a guy I wish I could of met:
Then back to Chicago.
But the SCARIEST moment of the whole week was when I saw Sasquatch:
(That f#@king Bigfoot can do a hell of a wheelie)
PEACE.
