Gnome Fest VI

Gnome Fest 6...nope not a festival celebrating the little creepy lawn ornaments. It's a biking and beer get-together at Levis-Trow Mounds near Neillsville, WI. Friday morning Pete and I loaded up his van filled with bikes, camping gear and a large empty cooler. Empty you ask, why yes, we are heading to the cheesy state of WI where they sell gloriously tasting New Glarus beer. A quick stop in Hudson for some Spotted Cow and Totally Naked and we were back on the road heading for Levis-Trow trail head. We rolled into Levis-Trow at 2pm and found a spot to setup camp. You couldn't have asked for better weather with highs in the upper 70's to low 80's with nothing but sun. It was almost too hot.

Check out our neighbors setup, Gomez. I think I could handle a pimp pop-up camper like that.

The trails were outstanding. A little different terrain with lots of tree roots and sand but once you climb to the top of a mound the views go on forever. Unfortunately I forgot my camera at camp so I will have to snap a photo next year.

Another great thing about this years Gnome Fest...BACON EXPLOSION!!! This beautiful example of the other white meat was put together by a fellow Gnome Fest participant. It was grilled to perfection. Very tasty!
