Today we wanted to get to Green Bay. We had reservations and everything. However, 20 MPH headwinds (consistent, with gusts much, much stronger), rain and a chilly 40 degree day convinced us to change our plans.
We went along one road, which started as 15th in Sheboygan and ended as OK in Mantowoc. I couldn't get much more than 6 or 7 mph with the headwinds, and it was even more pleasant up the hills. We made a reservation at the Holiday Inn -- it was close and had a pool. It was also very nice, and not too expensive.
We had lunch at a gas station, where the Good Sam Camping club was having a "brat fry". I remember when eating a Brat made me full; one brat made me not quite hungry any more.
While eating lunch, we told a guy in an RV about our trip. He told us to take lots of pictures so we could tell our grandchildren. I pointed out that they were with us. But pictures are a good idea to remind them they were here.
Even though we were tired, cold and hungry, the ride was gorgeous -- everything I'd hoped it would be. Wisconsin is a beautiful state.
We passed the Khoeler plant leaving Sheboygan.
I thought this was a strip club; Sue told me it was garden supplies. "Spinners" -- who knew?
These three were glad to see someone else pulling cart today.
Cold, windy and rainy did not take away from a gorgeous ride.
