Head north out of Hartland parallel to 83 to avoid NorthLake speed traps and get in a few tire warming sweepers. Dumps you into the sound end of the Hill area. |

I didnt say the food sucked at the mineshaft..it just wasnt what I expected. My expectations were running high based on a few reviews & I expected more. |

What about The Machine Shed on the north side of 94 just east/south of 16? Its like cracker barrel but the portions are a bit bigger & its pretty cheap. Also they dont discriminate against bikers. |

Dyna...The place in Wausau is the Wausau Mine. It was a poker stop last year on Hal's KMC HOG Statewide Poker Run. Quite enjoyable. Complete with a Miner Dummy sitting at the bar. LOL |

I agree the Mineshaft is great. Food and atmosphere are both right up there. Just wonder about the availability of a large table on a Sunday Afternoon. Comments anyone? Think I will make a dry run tomorrow and check the times and mileage. Figure with one or two gas/rest stops before Hartford, we shouldn't lose anyone. |

I was there on a Saturday afternoon & it was maybe 1/3rd full. I imagine Sunday afternoon would be similar. |

They accept but don't require reservations, but they do get a little busy on Sunday mornings. Not sure when they slow down. http://www.foodspot.com/mineshaft/

Dyna, Sunday's are a different animal there, breakfast buffet followed by brunch/lunch buffet, wall to wall mouths at times. Saturdays are much calmer. |

this is starting to sound like a HOG run . . . .my vote is to ride the wheels off my bike in the company of some like-minded individuals, grab something quick and greasy that I can eat outside, and ride some more . . . .. (smile) |

Yep, Bomber is a true Windy City rider.... you grab a Gatorade, Snickers & Slim Jim while gassing up the bike and yourself Then it's back on the road for more concrete carving. I remember some of the first rides with those boys. The only food stop was the free hot dogs at Sauk Prairie! |

>>>>you grab a Gatorade, Snickers & Slim Jim while gassing up the bike I love when us like minded health food types gather....I've cut out the Slim Jims. I find the word "slim" simply doesn't work.

CJ...Agree the kid is cute, but I think he is a poser!!! Bomber...We think alike and now you know why I ride alone. If it doesn't fit in my tank bag, I don't need to eat it. Much prefer a self-inflicted picnic at a scenic spot. Great for the mind and soul. |

Bomber, Don't worry, the PDC run is only about a month and a half away! Last Sunday of June! Put away the metamusil(sp) and get ready for a Pete burger! Actually I have a different plan for this year. Meet at the Pizza Hut, ride leaves at noon SHARP, go for a ride thru the twisties and then go to a bar on the river that a friend,coworker is part owner of for food and bullshit time! Sound OK? Dave

When everyone's hungry enought to bitch, we can stop Wherever !!! Ride Hard, Ride Short! I say Ride Hard, Ride Far !!!! But then I'm younger than you Bomber, LOL CJM ![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/smile2.gif) |

Sounds great! I may be able to talk my wingman (wife) into comin along . . .. if that works out, we'll ride up the day before, as a forced march doesn't appeal to her much . . . I'll put away the metamusical (sp?), trusting that the pipes will be cleaned well soon (grin) |
