| Friday - September 29 - Farmer Gene's to Shawano It rained most of the evening until we went to bed so we were happy to see the sun this morning. |
 |
| The bikes were happy too. There was a frig and microwave in the cabin so we had leftover pizza for breakfast. |
 |
| Some more cute and "Toad" appropriate campground art on our way out. There are quite a few permanent trailer set ups and some of them are pretty fancy. |
 |
| When we turned in our key the woman at the desk told us that they had to delay the Packer/Bear game for 45 minutes last night due to lightening. They even moved all the fans indoors. The game didn't get over until 11:15 but the Packers won 35-14 so it was all worth it. |
 |
| These two were so happy to see us and wanted to play! |
 |
| Soybeans, corn, woodland patches and silos continue to define the landscape. |
 |
| These are the biggest stacks of logs we've seen here. It looked like all hardwoods. |
 |
| A barn quilt....it reminded us of riding through Iowa on our 2007 cross country trip. |
 |
| A town name that is stranger than Boring or Drain. |
 |
| The rock foundation on this barn is typical of many of them in this area. |
 |
| R for "Robin"? |
 |
| These sandhill cranes were the icing on the cake for what was already a beautiful ride. |
 |
| They were also our sound of the day. They found us interesting and circled around above us for awhile. |
 |
| Another barn quilt! Hmmmm we are starting to see a trend here. |
 |
| Well, of course! There are actually 326 barn quilts in the county!! |
 |
| The ride is tomorrow but we feel like we just did it. |
 |
| A rail trail with the old depot converted into a bike shop. The riders will finish here tomorrow. |
 |
| The Shawano Lake outlet into the Wolf River. |
 |
| Tomorrow is also Oktoberfest in downtown Shawano and they are having a scarecrow contest. |
 |
| Angie's is an old-fashioned diner. That is a lot of pink! We were a little early for dinner and it filled up quite a bit before we left. |
 |
| Wood was a part of their past and still a part of their present economy though it plays second fiddle to dairyland. |
