Ferry Ride and day one in Milwaukee (not complete having difficulty will update later)

Bikes still coming on board. 

This morning we were up early to get to the ferry on time and line up with all the other bikers.  I have to say the SS Badger staff are very organized and very professional.  They have security checking for weapons and explosives to ensure a safe passage.  Three check in points before you even get on the ferry.  It wasn't too bad riding the bike onto the ferry and again have to thank Miles for helping me out tying down my bike.

Ferry ride was four hours but very relaxed and I was able to sit back and relax in the sun until it was too hot.  Met lots of bikers including a very nice couple from Germany.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

  

Miles and Cherif relaxing on the ferry.  We all had a great time -catching up with each other over the past year.  It didn't take too long to get off the ferry and start out on the highway and headed to Milwaukee which was about an hour away.  Some of the highway overhead signs even indicated to share the road with the motorcycles as they were experiencing heavy motorcycle traffic!

The Holiday Inn Express here has really gone all out.  They have special motorcycle parking and bike washes.  They even had food set out, water and lemonade.  We all received gift bags upon arriving - very much appreciated.  After checking in and checking my email we headed down to the lake front.

The lake front had all kinds of events.  Music was great we were able to get our HOG pin, take a good looson  poster for the 110th
