Toured the middle of Wisconsin over 7 days. 1,122 miles.
'06 Military hardly missed a beat once I drained the float bowl for the third
time and found a piece of crud that had been haunting me with an
intermittent miss that happened every few days. A burned out tail light
lamp was the only other trouble. Replenished 260 ml of synthetic oil
after the trip.

Enjoyed the hospitality of a fellow Bulleteer and camped for a night
on "the back 40" south of La Crosse. Thanks Bob! Saw the most incredible
meteor shower (the annual Perseids) in the wee hours of the 12th.
111 meteors in 2 1/4 hours. Dozens of fireballs. Trails that took seconds
to fade. Satellites galore.  Flashing/rotating satellites. Flares. The brightest
"birds" I've ever seen in the night sky. A show to be remembered for
a long time!

Found the ultimate accessory for the Military. Yes...it's a real cannon.
Bulleteer....cannoneer....they go together well.....



Highly recommend a trip through the S/W third of Wisconsin.
Beautiful countryside. Nice road surfaces. Peaceful, winding roads
that don't let you down. Saw my first Amish traffic jam. Everyone
was heading back to the barn after a day of meaningful toil.

Already planning the next trip north of the Cheddar Curtain.

That part of WI, plus the NW corner of IL and the NE corner of IA are all really pretty. Lots of winding 2 lanes and incredibly beautiful scenery. Definitely prime area for a RE excursion.
