A weekend getaway
Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2012 8:41 pm
Ron and I decided to take a little trip this weekend, we had business in Eastern Iowa so we brought along my Boss Hoss trike to go for a ride. We wound up riding from Anamosa, IA where J&P Cycles is located over to Savannah, IL. This is as we were crossing the back waters before the Mississippi River.
This is the bridge that takes you across the Mississippi and into Illinois. It has a metal grate kind of deck. Makes for quite a bit of noise as you drive over it but it sure looks neat!
We got to Savannah, IL and drove through the main part of town. Saw the Iron Horse Saloon was pretty busy and just up the street from the Saloon was this funky little car.
From Savannah we headed north toward Galena, IL. It was a beautiful day and the views were amazing. We came to a scenic overlook that had this really neat tower but unfortunately it was closed (the ladder from the ground up to the 1st floor was missing!) so you couldn't climb up to the top for what I'm sure was a stunning view of the country side!
This is what the country side looked like from the back seat of my trike.
