Sunny and Steve Slaughter (with Starbucks in hand, Kandie would be so proud), all the way from SoCal to see us off.

two cool things are happening here.
first, Spiderman has asked me for my autograph (the only such request on this trip  ), and...
...second, he has presented me with two sheets of Spiderman stickers, to place where i may on the ride, so that he may, at least in spirit, ride along on FBRAT as well.
very cool, my new friend, consider it done.

our first gas stop, Montello, Wisconsin.
Dale, on the left, put together a FABULOUS ride for us thru the green Wisconsin countryside.

Mt. Olympus Theme and Water Park in Wisconsin Dells, WI.
150 acres of fun, if you're into water slides (37 of them!), roller coasters (6), or go-kart tracks (9).
this is where Alex is bringing his kids when he has kids.
right, Alex???
btw, somewhere in all of this is a Ulysses connection...

yeah, you're right, Buell MoCo was thinking a different "Ulysses" when they named their new model, but one can't be too choosy when traipsing the countryside trying to find landmarks that tie in to such an unusual name.
