More Dubuque Area Photos

[F6Dave]

Here are a few photos from last week...

The block party - lots of interesting old buildings in downtown Dubuque:


The River Walk was just a few blocks from the hotel:


Bleachers full of bikers at the Field of Dreams:


I rode to a boat ramp near Potosi, WI to get a better view of the Mississippi.
Water was beginning to flood part of the access road, and a local guy said the ramp was about to be closed due to the unusually high water:


Catfish Charlies is a great restaurant and brewpub on the marina at the north end of Dubuque.
The owner and his wife grew up in the area and ride. Beer and food were excellent:



The Shot Tower was built in 1856 to manufacture lead shot using the 'drop process'.
It was at the north end of the River Walk:

Man, I don’t know which picture I like best!
It’s a battle between the Rune and the flight of beer!
