\nGot nothing to say about this town other than we spent the night there. Riding there we passed through a cloud bank and a slight rain on the other side of the cloud. When we did stop, I was asked why I would ride speed limit +5 on dry roads and 90 on rain slick roads. I had no answer to that.

<\/a><\/p>\n3~Lebanon & Belleville Kansas: Belleville gave us one of the best closed gas stations converted to a restaurant experiences we\u2019ve all had. Mexican with a gas station vibe. 4~Aberdeen South Dakota & The Corn Palace: Aberdeen was just an overnight stay prior to crossing over into Canada.<\/p>\n 5~Entering Canada Brandon was the start of all the water we\u2019ve seen in Canada and our first stop. That country has more scenic water than any place i\u2019ve ever seen. It\u2019s truly a beautiful country. 6~Kenora MB, Canada 7~Heading to Wawa<\/p>\n Lots of scenery heading to Wawa. {Disclaimer} I can\u2019t remember where exactly all the pics were taken, but I\u2019m just going to post the rest of them for you all to get a taste of what & where we were. If they have something telling me what and where, I\u2019ll mention it somehow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1~Cortez Colorado: Here is where Dennis and I hooked up with Frank & Tom, the crew of this trip. No pictures were taken here. Tom and I had our first meeting and he seemed like a decent sort, which was important to me since he and I\u2019d be rooming together for the entire trip. 2~Lamar … Continue reading Spring Ride 2022-Dennis, Frank, Tom & me<\/span> <\/a>
\nOne of the many McDonalds stops we made this trip.<\/p>\n
\nOn the way out of Belleville, we stopped at the Geographic Center of the USA Near Lebanon, KS). Interesting place with actually some traffic going in and out, despite the out of the way location.

\nTom (L) & Frank (R) are praising the quality of their margaritas in the above picture.<\/p>\n
\nEn route to Aberdeen, we stopped in Mitchel S.D. to visit thee Corn Palace. Truly an amazing place, a venue for virtually anything. Concerts, basketball games, dances, circuses, etc . . . .<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe border crossing was basically a non-event. Two minutes of checking our passports each and we were waved on. Had to take pictures proving that we made it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
\n[American bitchiness rant here]
\nCanadian taxes make the U.S. seem like a bargain. Once we did the conversions for the liters to gallons & U.S. currency to Canadian $ it worked out to around $8.00 a gallon for fuel. 😳 The owners of the hotel told us about the taxes they have to endure. Not even gonna start on the regulations they have. [End bitchy rant]<\/p>\n
\nAnother amazing area.
