Hey Al, we are stopping in Astoria, but it's more for the Goonies (an '80s film that we both grew up with) connection than anything. And unless Superman has a growing RF gut, then that pair is out, too! Chris

I have been thinking of famous traveling pairs that we could compare to these brave young Roadfooders, tripping merrily across the vast American Landscape. "Jane and Michael II" seems inappropriate !

I started with the 'Don Quixote' team, but soon that lost it's validity. Then came 'The Lone Ranger and Tonto'. But that too became invalid. Then I came up with Clark Kent (Superman) and Lois Lane. I think I am on the right track now !!
For those of you who enjoyed Mischner's "Centennial" perhaps the central character in that historical novel...Levi Zendt and his bride would make a trekking comparison. We'll see when they reach the west coast, if they winter over in Astoria, Oregon, Perhaps the Lewis and Clark analogy will come forth ! Keep those wonderful reports coming.

Thanks for the link Jim. I'm more than a little disappointed that I couldn't join the fun, but I was otherwise engaged.

I'm especially interested in checking out Bobtail Ice Cream; never even heard of them!

I really do like the look of these digest reports. Great photo lay-outs and well written text.

Congratulations to the Ayersians for a job well done.

Hope to see you next time through!

No Mike, Oscar's was on Thursday.

The tour moved on towards Madison by Wednesday evening - the Digest report is here.

Jim

Yeah, but where's Day 4, the Chicago day? I'm feeling a little bit slighted here...

Buddy

That would be here, Jeff.

Just WOW! I sure wish I could have joined and met all of you.

Then there's the food!

Think I'd like a bite of that human torch. Don't know that I could finish it, but I'd sure like a taste!

Is that where the Milwaukee dinner stop for the group was?

Ayersian- I think your double format for reporting this trip is outstanding. In your BLOG, the entries are concise and stick to the travel notes and brief menu descriptions...While here the social whirl that surrounds your tour stands out, without diluting the travel info in the other entry. Great Coverage of your Trip ! Keep It Coming!

Re: Glorioso's

I agree, my friend! They also have an awesome meatball sandwich made with pepperoni, sauce and cheese.

Yesterday Mrs MFL and I re-visited Glorioso's I had The Human Torch described as consisting of Calabrese, Capocolla, Provolone, Hot Muffalatta olive mix & Hot Pepper Spread.
It was as hot as promised and tested my outer heat limits. Here's a pic I took:

I am traditionally not a very big sub/sandwich guy as I tend to like burgers and pizza in favor. But I think I would definitely skip a lot of things for that beautiful looking specimen.

I apologize for my flight arriving and subsequently departing on-time during my all-to-brief connection in Milwaukee. Hopefully, we will be able to meet together once again down the road.

Thanks for the heads up B U M. Bobbi & I got our huge burgers and frozen custard waffle cones tonight. She had Birthday Cake Custard and I had Oscar's Delight. We used to eat at Oscar's all the time, but it had been a while. Those are superior fast food burgers.

Chris & Amy - The gelato place in Vancouver that Bobbi mentioned to you yesterday is La Casa Gelato. These are a few of the 218 flavors that were available when we last visited. Among the choices - Dragon Fruit, Guava, Banana Walnut, Ginger, White Chocolate Bluberry, Nutella, and the ever popular Akbar Mashty.

Bobbi had Roche and Chocolate Fudge Gelato for her cone.

Ann - Too early for a flavor forecast, but I can't imagine a trip to Solly's without Kopp's for dessert.

Blow 'em both off. Oscar's is having a "sale" to celebrate it's 25th anniversary on the 2^nd. 90 cent sammies and cones. I'll be missing all of you, which is another good reason to go!

What reeks to the wazoo is that I'm telling you this on the 1^st, so you may not get the scuttlebutt in time to take full and unfair advantage.

Report from after Kopp's is that you missed a great time annpeeples.

There is also speculation that you a figment of someone's imagination. However, someone claiming to be you greeted me at a BBQ contest once. Have you ever dined with buffetbuster at the Nite Owl Drive-In?

Ann-
Ayersian deserves a taste of the BUTTERSCOTCH ROOT BEER (Dang's). Be sure to find at least one bottle for he and Amy to share!

Also My daughter has found a source for Sprecher Cherry Cola out in Baraboo, WI. Apparently Family Dollar Store out there has it for $2.50 a 4 pack....Thats half the price we pay down here--when we can find it here or on-line. So we will stock up when we head north in a few weeks.

The July 1st Flavor Forecast:

Cherry Amaretto
Cheesecake Amaretto and cheesecake flavored with tart cherries and New York cheesecake pieces

Never Enough Chocolate
Dark Swiss chocolate custard, thick fudge swirls, and luscious chocolate truffel chunks. Is that enough?

No, but it will do! I would have to try both!
