Hanging out in Mackinaw City, MI tonight, sometime tomorrow I'll cross the big bridge :dribble: The reallyBig Bridge!
Make sure you take the grating lane all the way across in a storm like I did in 1979.
Forced to do that on my trip last month. :( Construction had the outside lane closed. Never seen a bridge designed like that. It's usually grated, or paved, not both side by side. :huh:

 
Yeah Wheatie where you gonna be? I'm in Yoop-er Country tonight, Marquette,MI. Actually not bad at all, met some good happy folk along the way.( I think they tend to embide alot round here) ;)

The Bridge is still being construted, and the grateing is just as much fun as ever, the sucker is so tall that it was 3 degree cooler at the top.

Had my first ever pastie for lunch, told the lady running the shop I didn't know how to order, I never had one before. She told me not to worry she would fix me a goo' und.

It was too, it was so good I could feel my arteries harden with every bite :lol:

 
i need to bring a cooler for all of the cheese curds I'm gonna haul home..
I recommend Cady Cheese but I don't think they are near any of the routes [Link].

Who's got some cheese shops on the routes, cuz that is my plan too!
Gotcha covered, in the welcome packs there will be a Wisconsin map with all the cheese shops, breweries and vineyards. Nobody gets out without cheese :assassin:

 
Pasties (with a short "a" sound) are a traditional food of the miners who needed a handy meal to haul to work. Basically anything you want in a folded over pastry crust. Often a bit of meat and potatoes and rutabagas, carrots, any other thing you had around the kitchen. I got this from my Finnish Grandmother in Northern Minnesota. The Tower, MN bakery used to make some pretty good ones!

In the 60's and 70' s anyway.

Often they are confused with the pasties (pay-stees) that are worn by strippers that need a little nipple coverage. I always wondered why those to words were so similar...

Good call on vineyards... One stop I was going to make on the IRR route was Eagle's Landing Winery in Marquette, IA. I need some more Brambleberry

What he said.

Speaking of strippers... who's got the strip club route map?

There was one on the Rally Rallye, but you guys didn't want to do that noooooooooooo.
knowing you the bonus would have probably been;

pay the cover charge and get a picture with the largest stripper available

or

the one with the most scars

or

the one who most closely resembles the RM

 
Leaving work now... just need to make it from my desk to my bike without getting pulled into a conversation. See you boys in La Crosse.
