I fell in love with this one, so I thought I'd share it. Was on a nature path and saw this shortly after entering the path. Hope you like it as much as I did.

Nice Ken. My compliments on your complements. :D I've been enjoying the oncoming colors in the area too. I'm hoping for good weather on Thursday so that a friend and I can make a ride through the driftless area.

Lovely colors Ken! I too have been awaiting the color change in our area. I hit a couple spots over the weekend but everything is still pretty green.

The driftless area is right under your feet Ken. :) This part of the state wasn't touched by the glaciers during the last ice age. That is what gives us our rolling hills.

The ride was great Ken, Thanks. I only got wet a couple times.
Mike's right about the driftless area. Much better riding over there than here in the drumlins. The gray area on this map is the extent of it in Wisconsin.
