[biscuitsngravy]

I've been working on our route for the NCR Rally 2012. Consider the following:

Arrive Savanna, IL the night before the rally. (Find a place to park your trailers if you have one.)
-First Day-
Leave Savanna after breakfast
Arrive Moline, IL (visit John Deere Pavillion)
Arrive Le Claire, IA (visit store of American Pickers)
Arrive Anamosa, IA (visit Natl. Motorcycle Museum & J&P Cycles)
Arrive Dubuque, IA (ride the Fenelon Place elevator)
Arrive Balltown, IA
Arrive Guttenberg, IA
Arrive Prairie du Chien, WI (spend the night) (230 miles traveled)

-Second Day-
Leave Prairie du Chien, WI after breakfast
(travel north on Hwy 35 with side trips for "twisties)
Arrive La Crosse, WI
Travel south and arrive Coon Valley, WI
Arrive Viroqua, WI
Arrive Soldiers Grove, WI
Arrive Gays Mills, WI
Arrive Bell Center, WI
Arrive Steuben, WI
Arrive Mt. Ida, WI
Arrive Cuba City, WI
Arrive Galena, IL
Arrive Savanna, IL (End of Rally) (traveled 228 miles)

Next month (Sept), we'll need to scout out the routes to determine rest stops, gas stops, restaurants, motels, etc. We don't need to all go at the same time (due to work and family schedules). We can ride solo or with whoever wants to go.... schedule your own rides. If you scout out even one side of the river, it would be helpful. Then report on the forum what you found out and make recommendations for all to consider. (it will give us something to do this winter!)

Let's stay in touch on the forum as to when you can do the scout ride and let's make plans for next month.
