Well the Final Count was 10.

The Most we had at once was 9 but since we spicked up a local smart owner after lunch and stoped by his house we have to add him to the count.

Ill get Pics up someday, I don't know when Ill have my own computer again but Ill get them up when I can.

Jet and Barney, Thanks for making the Journey to join us. I hope I made it worth the trip.

And to everyone else in WI that thought the game was more important than one of the last bright sunny Warm days with the best color of the season, I Hope the Blow out game was worth it for you.

Forestacademy, Great ride around the lake and seeing the Megamillion homes. BTW which one was yours? Probably where we took the group photo! that was really your neighbors taking all our photo's
A special thanks to "Nonuro" for superb directions. Yes, there are 3 Mobil Oasis's that bridge over the interstate. Downstate we use terms like," Just down the road a piece and turn right at Joebud's corner."
Nice meeting everyone and will look forward to seeing ya'll down the road.
Jetfuel probably still on road!!!

My Neighborhood I grew up in was the Up hill portion of the one we drove through after the group photo and before Lunch. I learned to skateboard on them their hills. No pads and no helments back then. How did I survive. We tried having a Basketball hoop but everytime the ball got away it would take 20 min to go down the hill and recover it.

I wish I could have given some comentairy along the way. My Old neighborhood was a good example of how the estates existed and were broken up. You had the Main Victorian Home on the Lake with the Kitchen house next door. The Kitchens had a habbit of burning down so they were seperate structures. In front of it was the Boat house, and just behind the house was the Ice house.
They would Cut Ice from the Lake and store it for the summer in a special building.
Up the hill along the road was the carage house as well as the stables. The Stables are now apartments.
Across the road was the Old Barn. Up the hill behind a house is a root celler.

All of these structures are now Private homes when the estate was Broken up.

Thanks for letting me share a portion of what I Know
