Sharp's Travels

Cheri and I along with Darren, Coz, Nikki, and Cece were on the road at 9:00 am headed for Sauk City to do a 12 mile canoe trip down the Wisconsin River. We made a stop in Columbus to pick up Jodi. The girls were in the car and we guys on the motorcycles. We arrived at Wisconsin River Outings a little after 11:00 am and got our assigned canoes and our safety lecture. Then the girls made a trip to Subway to get some sandwiches and drinks for lunch on a sandbar downstream. We guys headed for the Harley dealer as Darren had never been to this dealer. The girls met us at the Harley dealer and then we all headed back to start our canoe trip. It is a four hour trip and we didn’t get on the water until 12:30 and had to be at Arena by 5:30 pm in order to get picked up for the ride back to the starting point. About a third of the way we stopped to have our lunch. We were already finding muscles that we haven’t used in sometime. After lunch we headed on down the river. We did see one eagle and a lot of other birds. We made one more rest stop before we got to the end. We did really well because we were 45 minutes early. The guy that picked us up was 30 minutes early and the other couple that was to be picked up was there so we got started back earlier than we were supposed to. It was a long 100 mile trip back to Fond du Lac and didn’t arrive until 8:00 pm. Cheri and I went straight home and took a shower, had sandwich for supper. We were in bed by 9:30 pm. It was another great day to spend with family and a day with no rain.
