Get your Motor Running...

Saturday we went on a ride with our motorcycle gang. Today's gang consisted of Michael and I, Michael's cousins, Jim, Lorrie and Johnny, brother Ray, friend Tommy and Joe and Joann, who are friends with Jim and Lorrie. We headed up to Hugo to pick up Joe and Joann. The tornado that ripped through Hugo on Memorial Weekend also went right through their yard. There were trees down and bent all over the place still and many of their neighbors, including their own house is being reconstructed.

We went up to Marine on the St. Croix and stopped at a bar called Brookside Bar and Grill. We went across the St. Croix River to Osceola, Wisconsin and traveled north. We eventually made our way to St. Croix Falls, WI. We took River Road and it was a beautiful road to drive on, on a motorcycle or in a car. We stopped at another bar on River Road called Wolf Creek Bar. There were tons of bikers there. Most of them had done a ride earlier in the afternoon for a charity of some sort. After stopping for about an hour or so, we headed back towards home. We took 95 down to Stillwater for one last stop. Lumberjack Days was going on so it was extremely crowded down there. It's nice to have a motorcycle in these cases since you can squeeze them in to park. If we were in a car, we would have had to walk about a mile away. We went to Brine's where Michael got his famous Bloody Mary and then called it a night and went home.
