I'm counting the days! Paper don't take all the good hammock trees
Ok for those traveling from anything south or southeast, which is the better lunch stop; www.Pumpels.com in New Galris. Or Baumgartner' in Monroe? I have enjoyed great beer and sandwiches in both locations,but for me I'll always have a sweet spot for Monroe.
We will be arriving sometime on Friday. You will most likely me see me on a red K75, but there is a small chance I'll be on my LM3. Also bringing the car to maximize bringing as much useless junk as possible.
Baumgartner's and the entire Village of New Glarus are horrific tourist traps. On a weekday both can be tolerated. Monroe doesn't have much else going for it. Better food had at the Glarner Stube in New Glarus, workingman's lunch and best local pizza next door at Sportsmans. Puempels is more of a see and be seen place. Baumgartner's has a better cheese selection and they age their Limburger pretty good. Plenty of dollar bills on the ceiling there if that's a big thing. Good grilled steak sandwich there on Sunday afternoon after the beautiful people have left. Local made wieners and sausages in New Glarus are vile, but the Roesti kicks ass, especially at the Stube. Many want to swill Rotted Cow, whatever, you can find it everywhere, go nuts.
Fantastic rally this year, I'm not sure it could get any better!!!Chris Collins, along with all the WI Moto Guzzi Riders inc crew, that help put it on have very few equals in my book.
Whoa. Not a photo nor even mention of flies?
I had a blast for the short time I was there. First time I ever really talked to Bad Chad, and that guy is freakin' hilarious! I had to leave early as my Dad had a heart attack in Minocqua, WI, and they took him via ambulance to Marshfield, WI. As soon as I found out, I headed up there (3 hr. ride), and didn't even say goodbye to anyone (sorry about that). Turns out, it was fairly minor (as heart attacks go), and he ended up with a stent in one of his arteries. They'll be back home in Milwaukee on Monday. Would've come home today, but he also had pneumonia, which they think might have triggered it. Better to have that happen now as opposed to a massive heart attack in winter while shoveling snow.KenP.S. The ride from New Glarus was outstanding. Hwy H to F to G, and into the rally. I'll be taking those roads again next year.
