Holy Hill Ride - Post Event

Wow! What a turnout of members for this event - 25 cars! All looking for an adventure on a warm mid-October day. The day was perfect with bright blue skies and sunny warmth shining over us all. And that's just the start. Little did we know what we would be seeing today. We all met up at a Kwik trip (one of our club's favorite spots to meet at with all the conveniences one needs before driving for the day).

On the first leg we proceeded along Holy Hill Road curving around Friess Lake, St. Augustine Road, Emeral Drive, Donegal Road, Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive though all their twists and turns and beautiful fall colors as the leaves were at peak color that day and made gorgeous pictures! Then continued on to Dublin Drive (Irish anyone?) to Center Oak Road, Dieball Road, Woodchuck Way; all along seeing signs pointing us toward the most unique place I've ever seen, the Sculpture Park. Based on the handprinted signs, I really wasn't expecting much, BUT we were all in for a pleasant surprise and could have spent hours there and still not have seen all the metal sculptures this one man has made - from frogs and other animals "riding bicycles" to modern art formations! One just has to go see this place to believe it! They also had resident cranes enjoying the day there.

Taliesin and More-Post Event

Ooops, they did it again! Hank & Laura Netzinger and Greg & Cindy Garnett hosted and seamlessly led the best drives and venues that the out skirting towns and meandering roads that surround Madison area can provide. For three days we were dined, wined, ale-d, and awed by the sights, sounds and tastes of the hilly, curvy regions around Middleton, a very pretty, progressive town, as our anchor. Gathering at the Country Inn and Suites, after our 3:00 check in, we first drove a short way to The National Mustard Museum (yes, mustard) to be shocked by viewing thousands of different varieties of mustards from all the USA states and numerous countries. After sampling, we watched an informative film depicting folks in restaurants, festivals and households around the world loving their mustards. Of note is the fact that Canada is a major grower and processor of quality, coveted mustard seeds. Who knew? Next, we drove a bit northward to Waunakee to dine at Rex's Innkeeper; and since it was Wednesday night, many of us chose a delicious featured fish dinner.
