Day 36 La Crosse WI to Portage WI July 24

We welcome Randy, as we leave La Crosse and soon are on a 1.5 mile 10 to 12% climb. Randy fixing a flat at the top of the climb, the first of 2 for him!

We pass through Amish area. This farmer plowing his fields stopped to talk to us.

We explained our adventure. He wanted to know if we would ride to raise funds to stop a 345 volt power line from being installed in the area.

We were not the only ones slowing traffic in the area. Here we pass an Amish couple in horse and buggy. We see many Amish farms with no power lines to their homes.
