Southern MI Fall Color Tour

[Momz]

Yesterday (Sweetest Day) we had a Fall Color Tour; the weather was perfect and the roads were twisty and quite colorful.

We started at US23 and N.Terrirtorial Rd. and had a lot of Valkyries, some GoldWings, other hondas and even a collection of HD dressers.




We briskly drove westward on Territorial to Hankerd for some challenging curves (some off camber) and dramatic ups and downs to Patterson Lk Rd. It had a few dramatic twisties around the lakes and ponds. We finally out into Gregory MI, passing a Glider show at the Gregory Airfield. From Gregory we took Dexter trail to a rest stop for refreshments and a needed pee break.

We continued on into Mason MI then on into Onandaga and Reeves Corners. We followed some twisties through historic Bunker Hill and more twisties untill we stopped in Waterloo at a little bakery for another break and some of the best bagettes backed goods you have ever tasted.

Within 10 minutes of leaving the bakery we came to "Park Lyndon South" for a lunch/supper break.  So I had to take some of the final set of pictures.
Of course I had to add the prerequisite picture of my Rat Rod

After the eats were done we went to a gas stop as we had ridden at least 110 miles. We all filled up and left rather briskly, and after several miles we realized that something was amiss.
Yes, we didn't have Timbr and Chili with us, and they were completely out of their element. We waited along side of the road and eventually they came along. OK, all was right in the universe again.
With our group together again, we proceeded to break all sane speed limits until it was time for those to break off and head home.
It was a beautiful day with good friends and outstanding scenery, and the most memorable "Sweetest Day" in more ways than I can say.

Very nice.
The only Fall color we get here is the thermometer isnt in the red or orange zone.

Yup. It might be the last weekend fit for riding 'round these parts (tho let's hope not) We did catch quite a bit of color down around the Irish Hills area. I have the advantage of having some free hands on the back of the I/S to take pics as we go. It's kind of a crap shoot sometimes as to whether or not they turn out so I just aim for lots of shots on goal.  It was a sweet day to ride.





uh oh, Kendall. I think I found a paint job that might now be my favorite. Totally sweet I/S!!



Yes...thank the man upstairs for all that we have and beautiful days like this.



Amen
