Photos and happenings from Tim. Mostly photos.
Opera in the park, the 12th year.
Davie and Tommye get there early, set up a nice blanket and table, and then hide under it. Tim and Eileen come later, on their bikes, and cannot find them until they practically step on them, at which point Tim and Eileen happily sponge on this nice site. .
Despite this being a banner “bug year”, the bugs are tolerable this evening.

Goodes, Tony Chevalier, Wilsons (and non-riding Hammans) in attendance. Possibly the Walls. The weather tended to run threatening, stormy, very rainy. Tim and Eileen had their new camper, so except for the first night when they forgot to close a window in a lashing rain and got the bed soaked, they were in good shape. Tony slept in a tent. He survived. That’s about all he can say.
One night we all had dinner down the road at Sullivans.
This gallery, which can be seen here, shows a hike up Brady’s Bluff, the highest point in the park. This is followed by an old car show in Winona, and a very strange boat race taking place that same day, consisting of tiny hydrofoil boats powered by Italian two stroke motors. I am not making this up. These motors were so loud, you’d run to get away. Worse than a chain saw at full bore duct taped to your head.
( There are no shots of bike rides to be seen on this trip.)
The group came to Allen Gardens, on the University of Wisconsin Campus, for a photo shoot.

Paula, Roger, and Tim went to Virden to see Aunt Dorothy.
Roger and Rachel Fechtman played music for her in her room, and then the next day at the Church. Miscellaneous pics from this weekend:
