We had such a good time last year, EIM is making another Gays Mills Apple Run on 9/10. Plan on meeting up at our traditional meet-up spot for drives up in Wisconsin -- in Dubuque between the Wendy's and BP station on East 16th Street, just prior to crossing over the US-151 bridge. Take the Kerper Blvd exit to the right from northbound US-151. Our notional meet-up time in Dubuque is 9:00 am, if it changes we will update this announcement. There is a rendezvous location map link below. In all likelihood there will be a stop at Carr Valley Cheese in Fennimore, WI for some fresh curds and other goodies on the way up to Gays Mills. This drive is two weeks prior to the massive Apple Festival so the apple supply at the orchards should be plentiful and the traffic light. The fall colors should be just hinting at making their presence known, and the roads will curvy and fun as always. RSVPs are not necessary but it's always nice to know who we should be looking for at the rendezvous. Rain date is the following day, September 11th. Rendezvous location: http://tinyurl.com/gtceq64
Sarah and I will be working that day, but we will be making the rain day! Even if it doesn't rain the 10th we will probably make the run by ourselves. We do enjoy a good Wisconsin orchard run
Other than the scattered sprinkles on the sunrise transit to Dubuque that pretty much dashed the prior day's wash and shine...it was otherwise a superb day. The return trip through Potosi was a seat-of-the-pants decision. Good roads around there, and good beer too. :biggrin5:
I saw the pictures of Potosi. I was very disappointed I missed that! I always try to make a stop there. I'm glad everyone had a great time!
