Steve and Connie rode out to Dubuque the 3rd weekend in October hoping to see some great fall leaves. Some had changed but not as many as expected. We stopped at the Field of Dreams film spot and checked that out. The weather was cool and windy.
We did a Riverboat ride down the Mississippi River on a Paddleboat cruise. It was chilly that day and the leaves were not as bright and colorful as we had expected. We did get to see some bald eagles flying over head.
We took a long ride as the weather began to warm up some and rode by Breitbachs Restaurant in Ball Town. It is now open although we didn't go inside to see what it looked like or to eat. The outside of the building looks a lot like it did after it burned the first time.
We did see a few colorful leaves and had a long ride over into the Wisconsin side and back down and across the river to Dubuque.
It seems like the leaves became more brilliant and colorful during the week after we got back from this trip.
Now in November, most of the leaves are gone or piling up in the yards to be raked and bagged.
