Banjo, not sure how long you've been in DBQ, but if you haven't...some Friday this fall when the leaves are turning, take that bike to work and head north on 52, turn off on Sherrill road in Sageville, head up to Balltown. Eat dinner at Breitbach's. Cruise north thru Buenie, hit 52 southbound again near Millville. Go straight thru Luxemburg, stay on that to Dyersville. Take 20 back to Dubuque, or keep going south thru Worthington and pick up 151 in Cascade. Nice short ride, the leaves are glorious around there.

Oh definitely, been in DBQ about 4.5 years, and I always make sure to make that ride once or twice a year. Last year we took the river road up to Prairie Du Chein, then came back on the WI side down through Potosi, hoping to do that again yet this year.
we have a wedding there the 17 of Oct and I thought about taking Friday or Sunday to do some of that pretty driving. And eat at Vinny's. Thought about going to Galena but not sure we will. Suppose I could take Friday for that.
Did you stop at the brewery in Potosi? Need to get some saddlebags on that thing, grab a couple growlers and haul them home.
Indeed we did. Pretty good beer, and pretty darn good pub food as well. I've been partial to their summer Tangerine IPA lately.
There's also a shooting range just down the road from there that we frequent. It's always nice to go sling some lead, then head down the street for refreshments.
My baby brother graduated in Aero E, I think that would have been '10.
That would describe my brother as well, but not from IL and his initials are AB.
Popular area, I guess... my parents grew up near Dakota, and I still have a lot of family near there!
Given a choice between being called a special little shining star and a ***** . . . I'll take the star. Although I am the rep ***** of CF.

How about halfway in between...a special little *****?
when I went on my visit to ISU, the professor I met with (and my eventual advisor) had his parents still living in Dakota and my relatives with me knew them. Apparently many of us in that area end up at ISU!
