August 21 - Milwaukee Harley Museum

We went to the Harley Museum first thing in the morning.  Their website indicated all their tours for the day were sold out.  Kevan told the girl at the ticket booth he had come a long way, and miraculously she found one ticket for him.  He got the behind the scenes tour and was super thrilled.  I got 90 minutes to tour myself and enjoy the scenery.  After the tour we went for lunch, toured more exhibits and got a chance to see the Livewire, the new electric bike.  Was a pretty long line up to test ride it so we passed on that.  We then headed to the beach to dip my toes in Lake Michigan, the last of the Great Lakes for us to see.  We went downtown and found a brewery to test out some local beer, and then found a cool restaurant that had sidewalk seating.  Home to the third longest bar in the USA at 75 ft 9”.  Milwaukee is a nice city, with the lake & river through it.  We were told the locals live for summer months because winters are ugly.  It’s very nice in the summer!

August 10 - off to New Brunswick

Image
We packed up the motorcycle into the trailer.  Probably won’t be riding anymore the rest of our trip.  Kevan gave it a good clean to wash the salt air residue off.  We’ve put on just over 5000km on the bike this trip and over 10000km on the truck already. We drove out of Cape Breton and headed to Moncton New Brunswick.  We had seen an ad on tv that there was a casino in Moncton that offered free RV parking overnight and we thought that could be a fun overnight spot.  The weather in Nova Scotia was beautiful.  As we got closer to Moncton we could see a thunderstorm brewing.  Torrential rain mixed with large hail followed.  People pulled off the highway and waited out the storm.  We stopped briefly but then carried on.  It was over almost as quickly as it started.  We knew something was up in Moncton when we got off the highway and tried turning into the casino.  A bit of a traffic nightmare and many people walking with cam...

August 7 - Gander

Image
After we got off the ferry yesterday from St. Pierre we had a short ride to Marystown and spent the night at a B&B.  Got started relatively early this morning and headed to Gander.  We rode to Goobies again and had a short break there.  We then carried on to Gander.  We got into town early afternoon.  There’s not much to do in Gander so we had a relaxing rest of our afternoon & evening. Interesting factoids in the restaurant at Goobies This is the only moose we’ve seen😊. Counting our blessings  The road to Gander A glimpse of Gander Lake

August 25-Coeur d’Alene

Image
My chauffeur is turning into a hard core driving machine and making good time!  Gotta love those new tires😊. We stayed 45 minutes west of Billings Montana last night and decided we’d make a stab at getting to Idaho today.  We traveled through Bozeman, Butte and through beautiful Lolo National Park.  We were north of Lolo Pass, a favourite motorcycle ride for us we’ve done a few times with friends.  I was kinda sad we didn’t have time to unload the bike & ride it again.  Probably wouldn’t have been as much fun without Dave & Lori and Vic & Kristin anyways.  Next time!  We made it to Coeur d’Alene and had a nice evening there.  So many great things to do here to as we’ve stayed here a few times but home is calling.  Only one more state to go! Again this site drives me crazy with how it uploads pictures out of order.  This was the view coming into Coeur d’Alene  We had dinner at the floating restaurant  ...
