Sugar River Float – May

Hankards, Wilsons, Goodes

A new section of the Sugar for most of us, but not Mike, who had done this same section just this morning.

Riverside Road out of Verona, to the public park in Paoli.  Nice, scenic, all cleared out. Maybe 2 hours on the water.

Weather – cool, upper 50’s, no rain, mostly cloudy, a few rays of sun, could have used more.

Colorado Solo Kar Trip

I drove out to Colorado in the Prius to visit friends.  It’s been a long, brutal winter here in WI.  Eileen is working from our home office and we kept bumping into each other.  Between the weather and cabin fever, this trip seemed like a good idea.

I looked up all kinds of folks I never get to see.  Slept on at least five different couches – it was a cheap good time.  Got lucky with the weather.  Half the time it was near or above 60F.  My only regret was not bringing a bike.

The first half was in Boulder, second half in Denver.  Went through Ft. Collins on the way home.  It had been about 13 years since I’d been there!

Many  of these pictures were taken just wandering around a few neighborhoods in old Boulder.  Your starting price on any of these joints is $1M.

LaCrosse and Dahl Auto Museum

Visiting LaCrosse in January.  Not much to do, so Pops suggested we went to the Dahl Auto Museum on 3rd St., right downtown.  Here’s a few shots from the top of Grandad Bluff, followed by the cars.  It was cold up on the bluff (!) but we wanted to check out the new, improved lookout.

The museum is surrounded on three sides by solid glass, it was a bright day, the glare coming in made for some challenging photo taking, for sure.
