We took that same route on Saturday, after our stop in Blaanchardville, we ended up in Beaver Dam for the evening. Headed out to Bellevue IA on Sunday, and spent the evening. They had a GREAT fireworks display.

Still don't understand why someone carries around empty cans on a motorcycle. Everytime I stop and get a drink of pepsi the can or bottle ends up in the trash at the place I bought it..... Also congrats Schumacher on being sober. It good to know that some people still know when enough is enough and things need to change for the better. Hope everything keeps going good your way.

Certainly don't know in this case, but I have taken a beverage out of my saddlebag at a stop where there wasn't anyplace to throw it away. So, I just keep it to toss at the next available trash can.
If I am out for an extended ride I usually have a collapsible cooler on board. Some stops are just a place I can safely pull off the road.
Don't see why that's hard to imagine.

My 76 year old Aunt walks in the early mourning and as she does so she picks up aluminum cans undoubtedly with a few Beer cans mixed in. Can she be arrested for an open container? HUMMMMMM.......

Aunt Agnes drop those cans and run! Barney's loadin' his bullet in his gun!

Be carefull with those park rangers, if he is in fact a ranger here in Ohio they are sworn officers with full arrest power.

OK, now this is just getting ridiculous. You're comparing your 76 year old aunt to a group of bikers??

IMO, the bottom line of this whole thread is: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. AND... especially don't whine about it on a public forum.
