For your general information:
Some of the things going on while at the NorthCentral Rally at Prairie Du Chien is as follows: July 10: Chamber of Commerce Annual Fireworks, At dusk, St. Feriole Island, Prairie du Chien, 608-326-8555. A pork roast will be held on the island prior to the fireworks, proceeds from the roast will go to the Mississippi River Sculpture Park. July 10-11: The War of 1812 Re-enactment, A historic encampment and battle re-enactment on Wisconsin’s only War of 1812 battlefield, now the lawn of the Villa Louis estate. Learn about the British assault on U.S. Fort Shelby in a battle scenario each afternoon. Tour the camps and learn about military life in 1814. Villa Louis Historic Site, St. Feriole Island, Prairie du Chien, admission charged, 608-326-2721 By the way, how do you carry a 6 foot long blackpowder blunderbus on a Nomad? (ans. Very carefully.)

Wow that sounds like a great time, we are very excited about attending the rally. We are planning on leaving Indiana on Wed July 7th. so that we will be able to relax & get the lay of the land. The plan is to arrive in PDC sometime Thursday. Looking forward to meeting other members.

Maybe "Mac Mac" should be there for the reinactment! ![]() It would be cool if we could catch some of it in between riding around. The Villa Louis mansion is something I think most attending would enjoy a tour through. We have been through it and it is one of the most well-preserved mansions anywhere of that era. There is quite a story behind its history -- worth while going through it. The biggest problem we're going to have is having enough time to see all the things that are going on while getting some riding in! A good problem to have I would say. ;)

Yeah, I just thought I'd throw that sightseeing info up on the screen so folks would have a choice. But riding is the main event.
Hey BlueKaw, I'm going to try and get to Prairie Du Chien a day or two early also. I wanted to check out the area too. Greg has done a bang-up job in mapping out some great rides. See you there! BnG

Trying map out a route that will get us there in the shortest time possible without spending to much time on the superslab. Picking up Garmin this week & looking thru maps. It also depends on if any other member wants to make a connection so that we could ride in some sort of group. If anyone else is interested just let me know so that we can make adjustments on routes & days of leaving. We rode on Sunday about 50* but it felt good to have the hair in the wind.

Man I am so sad that I won't be able to attend this year. I was really looking forward to meeting everyone that wasn't in Custer last year. I hope the river isn't too high by then. I know we are dealing with flooding and popwer outages caused by the flooding already.

The ferry wouldn't take any longer and you would end up coming across Wisconsin at a nice enough area where the scenery begins to improve as you head on across Wisconsin.
