Galena pics continued.....
 

pics of me and the lovely bride.

What's the location? The farm fields look like original home in central Ohio.

DUH!!!!
I could've looked at the first post first.........
Great photos. Can't wait to do a midwest trip in my box.

location
 

i was surprised myself that this area looked anything like the usual flat cornfields of illinois..but it is between the town of elizabeth and galena.

thanks for checking out my post

Galena is really a beautiful area. I've been there a few times with my motorcycle buddies when I used to live in Wisconsin. There are some really seedy strip clubs just up the road in East Dubuque too.... for a change of scenery. :p

I was just cruising along the Great River Road this last week while I was visiting a place in Iowa along the Mississippi. Everything where I live in northern California is burnt brown now from the 114 degree heat. So it was nice to see the beautiful green landscape in this part of the U.S. Thanks for the pics!

Wow, black car on a dirt road with the top down. Gutzy, lol.

straight to car wash after pic was taken
 

it was the perfect spot for the view..though i quickly reversed out of there and washed the car before heading home. :cheers:

If by referring to your "bride" you mean that you were recently married, congrats on the nuptials. Well, congrats on the nuptials anyway, even if you have been married a while.

There’s nothing like a top-down drive through the country with the wife...

been married 16yrs
 

this was our time..with the ride...and minus kids.cats and dogs.....left them at the inlaws. it was fun and i highly recommend the drive...very picturesque landscape to drive thru. thanks for the reply doc.

When we got the youngest (of two, thankfully!) out of college, I was torn between going back to playing with the avatar (in the southeast heat) or buying a box to cruise trips with the wifey of 34 years. Look below for my answer! :D

Why not both?

manaco986, the next time you are in that area, you need to drive Wisconsin Hwy K north out of a little town called Gratiot. Awesome!

thanks for the tip
 

we are planning another trip soon...to see the fall leaves turn..i will google map search that town.

very nice, u cant go to galena and not get wine and cheese :)
its really a great place to see....i wasnt there in a porsche, we decided to cruise in my dads buick hehe (my girl wanted to drive so bad wouldnt drive a manual car for some reason) lol, so as far as comfort, i was all up for it, f i had to drive, no way in hell anyhting other than my porsche hehe

btw, last time i was there we visited one of the presidents home, and there was a girl there that just started working and training to be showing around the house, and i was like can i sit in this chair that president sat in? shes like sure, why not? later on we learned that no one sat there but the president lol :p and well...me hehe
i dont know if she still has the job, but no one was supposed to sit there hehehe
