Just Some Pictures

 Thought I would just post some pictures that I've taken over the last couple months.

Out for a ride Oct 27.

Namekagon Dam east of Cable WI. You can start here an travel all the way to the Gulf of Mexico by river.

Checking out the fishing prospects at the dam area.

Lots of kayakers use this river.

Tons of forest service roads to ride on in northern Wisconsin. The best part is there is very little traffic.

Sunrise north end of Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota Oct 23.

Good fall colors this year.

Deer loading up on accorns. We had a bumper crop this year.

What a great view I have.

From our deck, nice view.

The above 6 pictures are all local roads. I love living up here in northern Wisconsin.

Winters can get chilly here. This morning Jan 23 we woke up to -29 Fahrenheit.

The kids are at it again. Hwy 63 between Hayward and Spooner WI.

And another great late fall sunset.

Time to fire up the wood stove.

Just had to get a picture of this.

First real snow of the winter Nov 26th. Ended up with about 9 inches at our house when it finally decided to quit.

A little project I did in early December.

Great sunset Dec 14th.

We have a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers wintering here. I've also spotted a juvenile and an adult Red Headed woodpecker. They shouldn't be this far north in the winter. We also have Hairy, Downy and Red Breasted woodpeckers.

Just passing through.

Christmas was wonderful.

Hope everyone has a great 2026.

Sturgis 2025 Ending stats

 I've done the numbers for this trip and they are as follows. Total mileage was 2855 miles. 56.593 total gals. I averaged 50.448 MPG. Cost was $214.60 which worked out to $3.79 a gallon average. The lowest I paid was $3.58 and the highest was $4.00 a gallon. This average was $.30 cents a gallon cheaper than last year. I only use premium 91 octane.

Sturgis 2025 Day 12

 Left Watertown SD about 9 this morning under threatening skys. The radar showed rain to the north and moving east. So it looked like we would maybe cross paths with it before we made it home. Didn't stop for pictures. We had just over 360 miles to cover so it was gas and go. We did run into a few sprinkles but not enough to make us stop and put on rain gear. Good trip all in all. Total mileage was 2855 miles. I haven't figured out gas mileage or gas cost yet. When I do I will add it to this post. Now I can start the process of getting everything cleaned and put away and get the bike cleaned up and ready to collect some more bugs. Thanks for following along.

Watertown Sunset.

Sturgis 2025 Day 11 Homeward bound

 After checking the forecast we decided that it would be a good idea to head for home. We wanted to miss the forcasted rain. But we all know how quickly that can change.

We left Hill City SD about 7:45 this morning and got to Watertown SD shortly after 5 in the afternoon. Uneventful 463 mile ride, perfect weather until it got hot in the later part of the afternoon. Staying at the Econolodge tonight and should be home early afternoon friday. Not much for pictures again today. Just in the mood to be home now.

Ben Ash monument/rest stop.

I always seem to stop here if for no other reason than to check that everything is secure and has not shifted.

Erik and I are wondering if they are putting in a fiber network in rural SD.

Lotsa green this year and not many trees.

US Hwy 212. No traffic. I like it.

A planted natural snowfence.

Windmills in the distance.

More windmills.

Todays sunset. Must be some smoke in the air.

Home tomorrow. 6 hours and 350 miles.

It will be good to be home.
