Today we woke up to another morning of rain. We went to Denny's next door to the motel at 0600 and by the time we got done eating and luggage load was at 0700, the rain had stopped. We had partly cloudy Sky's all day and it was once again very humid.
We started out and today we were on some of the prettiest and rural roads we had seen yet. The countryside in Wisconsin is really pretty. We had a tail wind today and the temperature got up to 78 degrees. We had 2 rest stops today and the 1st was at a Kwick Way gas station with a pond and swans swimming in the pond. It was really pretty. After snacking and filling the water bottles we took off and everyone was talking about the brats that they were cooking in Princeton. We rode the 11 miles and ate brats and they were really good, even at 10AM.
After leaving Princeton where we had the brats it was scenic roads and we saw may sand hill cranes in the fields and they were making crane sounds. They were really pretty in the green soybean fields.
The second sag stop was at mile 60 and we stopped and filled the bottles and snacked and took off for home with a nice tail wind. We were riding at 23MPH all the way into town and we stopped and got lunch before checking into the Hotel. It was a pleasure to ride today after the long miles and humidity that took it's toll on my body. Tomorrow we only have 57 miles and the next day only 7 miles to Lake Michigan and the Ferry ride across the lake.
Tom: I hope those Canadian Geese you took a picture of are not the Sandhill Cranes? Wish I was with you. I've been following you from the start and enjoy it every day.

From the sound of the blog, you had a great and picture perfect ride, other than the humidity. The pictures were really great and I could taste the brat you had at Princeton. I guess it wasn't a beer brat since I didn't hear anyone getting looped...lol. Take care and I know you will enjoy your ride, no matter what the weather has in store for you. It's a wonderful journey and thanks for sharing.
