More Fall Pics

 Since my last post in late Sept we've gone from early fall colors to past peak and with the wind the last two days alot of leaves have come down. I'd call it late fall now. This post will be mostly pictures.

Came within 8 inches of a hole in one. You can see where my ball hit the green and spun back a couple feet. I made the putt for a birdie. 90 yard hole with my Gap wedge.

Hole three at Lakeview. Oct 2nd.

The leaves left early here.

But just a couple miles away they were still pretty green.

Beautiful red maple on the corner.

Alot of Poplar and Birch along this stretch.

The colors were great on this mostly sunny day.

I like to have a paper map to consult when riding the forest roads.

Back on the bike

 After 3 months not riding because of eye issues I've spent some time riding my motorcycles, it feels great. On thurs I went up to my buddy Erik's to help change the front tire on his Suzuki DR 650 dirt bike, Only about 55 miles round trip on my KLR 650 but it felt great. On friday Erik and I Made a big circle, 236 miles total, Had lunch in Ladysmith, Mexican of course. Erik rode my FJR 1300 and I rode my Harley Softail. On sat I jumped on my XT 250 and rode around the local area and took pictures of the fall colors. They should be even better in another week. Put about 30 miles on. Wonderful day for sure.

Erik checking torque settings. My KLR 650 in the bsck.

Near Erik's house they are just starting to turn.

Best Mexican food for many miles is in Ladysmith, WI.

The Chief river near home.

Near the Tiger Cat flowage dam. Lake is down 14 plus inches this year.

You can kind of see how much it's down.

These where taken Sept 2nd

Looking down the Chief river on Sept 2nd.

Nearly the same view as previous picture, this was taken on Sept  26th.

All of the following pics were taken on Sept 26th.

It was a great 3 days of riding. Plan on more in the next couple weeks.
