Sharp's Travels
We left for breakfast at 8:30am. We headed into Waupaca to the Woods Restaurant. They have such good meals there. I ordered a sweet roll to go with my coffee before my meal came and it all came at once. The sweet roll covered the whole plate. It was enough for all of us to have a piece with our breakfast. When we finished we headed back home to load up the bikes and head out for the day.
We put on 117 miles with stops at Spring Water Volunteer Covered Bridge, built in 1997 in Saxeville. We wandered back and forth across the bridge and checked out views from every angle. It was a beautiful spot.
We traveled through the back roads to Pine River and then into Wild Rose to look up some old biking friends. They were not home so we continued on up to Mt. Morris Park. The overlook of the surrounding area is very nice. We took time to relax a bit and have some water before moving on.
We went through Ogdensburg and on into Little Falls. We parked under an overhang of grapevines and started to check the area out. They had a swinging bridge to cross the river. There were deer fenced in on the other side, along with a couple of old cabins. We walked the river bank and cross another bridge back to the other side again. There was a little lighthouse by the bridge. It made a neat picture.
We were back on the bikes and went into Big Falls, through Iola, Scandinavia and back through Waupaca and made a stop at the Red Mill. They have a gift shop there that Jeanene and I checked out. Pretty glassware but we made no purchases.
They have a little covered church there also and a little church they call The Church in the Woods. They hold lots of weddings there and all the people have to sit outside. There is hardly room for the wedding party inside. We had been there years ago, and it was nice to revisit.
We arrived home around 4pm. We got cleaned up and headed into Waupaca for Chinese for supper.
It was a beautiful day and we were blessed to be able to spend it with some wonderful friends.
