Route 66 World's largest Rocker







We went to SE Missouri and camped at a KOA at Stanton Missouri. We found some amazing roads to ride, near Pitousi.. We had one that was 2 miles long with 97 curves, Rosalee counted!!
We also found a quaint gas station, restaurant that had seating for people in an old Railroad cabboose. It looked like you walked back in time to an old General store. Pretty cool.

We did ride on Route 66 and found the World's largest rocking chair. Amazing. It is in the Guiness book.
It is 42 feet, 4 inches tall
Weighs 27, 500 pounds
is 20 feet across!
There was a gift shop at the same location.

Monday night supper rides

Monday night supper rides have started.. our first one was to Adel to the Italian villages. We had a good ride to it. Since Bill and Dee have retired, we have the option of someone different leading the rides if they choose. We also went to Benchwarmers in Ankeny.. no rain this time. We also got to watch Shawn Johnson on Dancing with the Stars.
We did a city/country ride to Los Tres Amigos.in Waukee. Ben and Sherrill met us there, as well as Jan.

Connie and i rode the Operation First Reponse Charity ride. PJ Sesker was really glad to see us. It was very chilly and windy so there were maybe a dozen bikes and several classic cars and trucks. The ride ended at the parking lot near Stoney Creek. Food was provided and a concert by Jason Brown, followed by an auction. It was a good day even though it was chilly.

We went to the Roadside Inn on June 1st, via 4 wheels because of the rain. We had a good time, as always.
June 8th is Smokey Row in Pleasantville. Several of us are going to go to Wisconsin early and ride and then end up at Chippewa Falls for Region C.
June 15th, we will ride to Georgio's in Colfax.
