The Waiting is the Hardest Part

Our trip this year will share many things in common with last year, but one thing it seems likely not to share is the temperature. Last year, large parts of trip were spent in the 90-100 degree F range, and this year I think we’ll be lucky if he hit 80 on most days. We’re not complaining one bit.

We have a lot of things planned — camping at a half dozen state parks, a few family cottages, two bikes, and of course, two bikers. As far as our route goes, we hope it will be a lazy loop around Madison, WI, leaving from our home base near Sheboygan, WI. Somewhere in the ballpark of 500 miles, it won’t be a herculean effort, but we’ll probably (and gladly) shed a few pounds along the way.

Our Big Rigs, July 2013

So,  while we’ve got a big-picture plan, we let the details work themselves out and take it a day at a time. We’ve got no reservations, and yes, we do make frequent stops.
