We stopped at Kegel Harley Davidson in Rockfork, IL where there was another Welcome Home party in progress. This dealership had a little cafe built in so we had lunch there and got some directions to avoid the tolls and construction that was happening on the interstate. While we were eating we saw the group from Mexico that we met with in Jackson. We did not get a chance to talk to them but they looked much drier than previous.
Once we got into Wisconson we got onto some state highways, and let me tell you, in these parts, these higways are a lot differnet than in Texas. In TX, you go 70 mph, about every 20-30 miles or so, there is a small town you slow down slightly for. In these other states, the speed limit is typically 55-65 mph, with towns every few miles and slowing down in some towns as slow at 25 mph, which greatly extends travel time!
We stopped at the Buell plant in East Troy for an ABC pic, then arrived at the campground about 3:30 pm so only about 1/2 hour later than I had originally planned for. That was the closest to plan all trip!
Of course at the campground we had to wait to get registered, but thankfully Harley riders and are friendly bunch and offered up some of Milwaukee's premier exports for us to quench our thirst.
We got set up and spent what seemed like hours looking for Len, Lisa, Paul and Lisa and meeting and chatting to a great many folks from all over.
That night we watched Lynrd Skynrd and helped Lisa Mathiason look for her missing lens cap............
