2nd Annual Feckin Rally, a.k.a. Numb Nuts 2, a.k.a. Very Scaaaary Rally

Describe the rally in one sentence or less ... go! Day one featured brunch with adult PB & Js at Off the Hook in Algoma, a quick ride to Peninsula State Park (full of people from Illinois), another quick ride to Potawatomi State Park and tent setup, dinner at Pooh's Corner Pub in Sturgeon Bay (Point on tap!), purchasing of anti-Illinois t-shirts, then back for a great camp fire, Feckin Irish Whiskey, monkey jokes, and camp stories ... until the Ranger Lady floated out of the mist and told us to knock off that sort of behavior, which eventually brought us to day two, which started with breakfast at Baileys Harbor Fish Market (best hash in Wisconsin!), where we met up with Rick, rode up the Bay to Northport (fantastic fall colors), stopping at every dead end road along the way, which brings us to the fact that we don't tease anyone who drops their bike, as it happens to all of us at one time or other, so instead, we name the intersection or campsite after you, which is why our final ride down the twisty section to Northport started at Rick's Crossing, and we rode this section three times (damn Buicks!), onward to Gills Rock and Charlie's Smoked Fish Shop (no, not named after our Charlie :)), Door County Bakery, Home of the Corsica Loaf, then a scenic overlook where we watched a man attach a hook to the end of a stick to rescue a camera from a precipice, stopping a bit at Bob's RV for beer, cherry bounce, and pear wine, hooking up with John, followed by dinner at the Neighborhood Pub in Sturgeon Bay for excellent Octoberfest food, SpƤtzle and other German stuff, headed back to base where our campfire started early, Aldis doing his verrry scaaary Count Floyd impersonation, followed by Jackie peeing herself, later looking for the comet in the constellation Cassiopeia even though we couldn't even find the Big Dipper :), and so by day three, there were group pictures, with John claiming the naming rights for our camp site (what was it, anyway?), and finally the group split, with Aldis, John, and Rudy heading south and home, while Wes, Jackie, and Charlie went for breakfast in Sturgeon Bay, again eating the best hash in Wisconsin, then riding up the lake side to Newport Park, Old Stage Road, through Cave Point and down Glidden Road, finally splitting up at the intersection of 57 and 42, bringing the rally to a close :(
