This past Wednesday, my buddy Frank, Liz, and I took a drive north to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and ate at Popeye's overlooking the Riviera Docks and Geneva Lake. Gage Marine has done a great job of preserving some of those old early 1900s steam launches and boats.
We had a 50% off coupon and splurges on Oktoberfest meals and Frank fot that great half rotisserie chicken, started off with one of their signature broccoli and Wisconsin cheese soups.
We then walked around downtown a little. Sad to see the old arcade Game World was closed after all those years and quarters. Zebra mussels have been in Geneva Lake for several years now according to one guy working on one of the Gage Marine boats, the 1890 launch Polaris. He said that after a fast growth, their population is leveling off and the problems are not as bad. The lake has never been cleaner though.
As great as the color was the week before, it was even more peak today. And the sun was shining brightly
Drove along the south shore, through Fontana, and along the north shore of the lake. George Williams College in Williams Bay was particularly beautiful.
Then, we went along the south shore of Lake Como and the drive along Snake Road was just about indescribable. Still a lot of color in the residential area to the west of downtown Lake Geneva.
A Great Bonus Day for Us. --RoadDog

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
