The Driftless Area

The Driftless Area hides a bounty of county “Alphabet” roads with seemingly endless routes of turns, climbs and descents perfect for a motorcycle.

Well, after this trip driving across the American Upper Midwest, the romance is dead and the winds of fate can go to hell!

I feel pretty fortunate that I can take, what most would consider, a world class motorcycle ride on my lunch break. And that’s what I did today.

A 4-day motorcycle ride based in Buena Vista with forrays into the surrounding hillsides.

I was hell-bent on getting at least one motorcycle camping trip in for 2017. So here it is!

I finally visited the Clyfford Still Museum today. Amy got me a membership several months ago…

Hiking and then drinking beer and shooting beer cans with my pellet gun. Now that’s a good Saturday.
