Back in Wisconsin...

MONROE, Wisconsin - Aging red-wood barns, fields of corn, and grocery stores named Piggly Wiggly... I must be back in Wisconsin.


Cycled across the Illinois/ Wisconsin state line this week; a little behind schedule but that's what happens when you have a plan - Mother Nature always wins.


Rain delays have forced me to seek shelter; in those times of urgency anything will do. Normally I prefer being indoors, but crossing through Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri I cooled my heels for about two nervous hours under an open-sided pole building across from Hillbilly Park.


It was a junkyard of sorts that sold itself as antiques.


It's these kinds of places and the people that make the tour unique.
