Well we spent 2 days in western Wi..Our goal was to go to Perrot state park in Trempealeau Wi.

We wanted to hike the trails and talked with the rangers about a bluff
hike. It was really something! 1/ 1/2 hr. hike up a tight trail ,with no guard
rails ( they warned us). We stopped to rest many times after all we are in our 60s. But the climb was worth it. You really can't get a grasp of the
view from the pics..

We also went down to the Tremplealeau lock and dam. My wife's father
worked on one when he was in the CCC corps in the 30's.

We also rode around this part of the state. I found a bar that used a promo that I always said I was going to use in my retail store.
When you are trying to think up ways to get people in to your store sometimes I would just throw up my arms say " Lets just put a sign that
says Free beer tomorrow. My wife and my ad people always nixed it.

I also caught a fish in Onalaska Wi.

All in all a good trip ,we did have some troubles with my wife's TU 250
but that's another story.
Had a room next a Ground Round so I felt it was my duty to eat and drink to much

Nice CA. That river Delta is beautiful and the locks are impressive....so is that sunfish lol. The bike looks like a well thought out light weight tourer. Sorry to hear you had trouble with the Mrs. Suzy. Nothing too serious I hope.
I love reading ride reports and looking at the pics of where others go.
Thanks for posting.
