For 4th of July weekend 2021, we took a roadtrip to Wisconsin to ride the
Oak Leaf Trail along the lakefront.
Milwaukee by Bike tour -- July 2, 2021 14-mile ride
Welcome to Wisconsin!
We arrived midday on Friday. Our plan was to do a bike tour that afternoon
so we found a food truck in the parking lot where our tour was going to start.
She had the Dr Pepper braised pork shoulder taco with jalapenos and I
had the grilled chicken thigh taco. The chips and salsa were
excellente!

located. https://milwaukeebybike.com/
Unique art showing the wildlife of the area all in one mural
Stopped at Riverfront Pizzeria for lunch and some cold beverages! She
had root beer on tap and I had Summer Shandy.

Sat out on the patio along the Milwaukee River
We shared a yummy Thai Chicken Pizza
The birds have taken over!
Nap time. So cute!!!!
Bradford Beach was packed this 4th of July weekend. Covid is still
a thing.
Northpoint Lighthouse. You can't even see this lighthouse from the
shore now, but it used to be cliffside.
One of the 8 lions of "8 Lions Bridge" keeping watch over the
lighthouse.
I absolutely adore cats. Even majestic stone ones.
OK, so check this out. In 2014, a semi truck, whose driver was apparently
following what the GPS was telling him/her/they to do, drove down this bike
path in the middle of this park (literally the middle of this park -- I invite
you to Google Map Northpoint Lighthouse and look at how deeply into the park
on this bike path s/he/they actually drove -- it's mind blowing).
