Scavenger hunt day 3 - final day

Technically we didn't ride the last day of the scavenger hunt, we took the car because of the weather - we knew it was supposed to rain. So we went to all the destinations on the hunt, there are lots of places we want to go back and ride when we aren't looking for stuff and can just enjoy the scenery.

There were some interesting places that we had to go into, and we actually ended up getting to one of the destinations at the end of the veterans ride so it was packed. They said they had 500 people sign up and there must have been at least 1,000 people there so it was quite challenging navigating the bar to get the answer to our clue with all the people in and around it.

We learned that we have a motorcycle memorial up in Door County, something we would never have known if we hadn't done the scavenger hunt. So anyway, they had prizes for the first 3 places, I came in 4th and Ed was 5th (we disagreed on an answer). We made friends with the people who won first place (before they won of course) and since they don't ride a Harley, they gave us the oil filter from their prize package. Ed has to get his bike serviced on Tuesday so that will work out great!

Would we do it again? Absolutely! The only bad thing that happened on the whole thing is that the stupid motor for the convertible top died with the top half up so we had to pull it down (ok Ed pulled it down) so we could latch it in place. At least it happened before the rain. Now we have a list of places to go riding that we didn't know about before.
