Aug 4th - Larry & Jeff - Devil's State Trail - Manitowoc - Two Rivers - Point Beach State Forest

We rode this route a while back and wanted to share it with our friends Gail & Jeff. Larry & Jeff are going to ride the bikes and Gail and I will travel by car.




We set the guys off at the head of the Devil's Creek State Trail and will link up with them in Manitowoc.




Gail and I drove to Maintowoc to view the "West of the Lake" gardens. There were a lot of ladies doing SAGBRAW cycle event that were also touring the gardens.

We were only part way through viewing the gardens when Larry & Jeff joined us. We decided to go down the Mariner's trail a little and find a spot with beach access so we could set up our picnic lunch.





After a delicious lunch the guys continued cycling and Gail & I enjoyed viewing the flower beds that community groups maintain along the trail.








We met the guys again in Two Rivers and toured the Museum and had ice cream there. Two Rivers is the birth place of the ice cream sundae. The Jeff & Larry biked on the Ralston Point Trail and we ladies drove to the Point Beach State Forest to meet up with them.




We saw the light house and enjoyed wading in the lake. It was so pleasant standing in the water visiting we lost track of time and Larry & Jeff beat us to the meeting place at the beach and general store. The guys rode almost 30 miles.




Larry & Deb took a quick dip in the lake and then we headed back to Appleton, taking a break at the Hickory Grove Nursery near Maribel.
