Dumps you into the sound end of the Hill area.   Dynarider Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 04:07 pm:        I didnt say the food sucked at the mineshaft..it just wasnt what I expected. My expectations were running high based on a few reviews & I expected more.   Dynarider Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 04:11 pm:        What about The Machine Shed on the north side of 94 just east/south of 16? Its like cracker barrel but the portions are a bit bigger & its pretty cheap. Also they dont discriminate against bikers.   Nevco1 Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 04:34 pm:        Dyna...The place in Wausau is the Wausau Mine. It was a poker stop last year on Hal's KMC HOG Statewide Poker Run. Quite enjoyable. Complete with a Miner Dummy sitting at the bar. LOL   Nevco1 Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 04:41 pm:        I agree the Mineshaft is great. Food and atmosphere are both right up there. Just wonder about the availability of a large table on a Sunday Afternoon. Comments anyone? Think I will make a dry run tomorrow and check the times and mileage. Figure with one or two gas/rest stops before Hartford, we shouldn't lose anyone.   Dynarider Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 04:51 pm:        I was there on a Saturday afternoon & it was maybe 1/3rd full. I imagine Sunday afternoon would be similar.   Mikej Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 04:52 pm:        They accept but don't require reservations, but they do get a little busy on Sunday mornings. Not sure when they slow down. http://www.foodspot.com/mineshaft/   Mikej Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 04:54 pm:        Dyna, Sunday's are a different animal there, breakfast buffet followed by brunch/lunch buffet, wall to wall mouths at times. Saturdays are much calmer.   Dynarider Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 05:57 pm:        Wasnt sure, like I said on that Sat it was pretty dead. We stopped at the Hartford harley dealer..what a tiny little place that was..then ate.   Bomber Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 06:12 pm:        this is starting to sound like a HOG run . . . .my vote is to ride the wheels off my bike in the company of some like-minded individuals, grab something quick and greasy that I can eat outside, and ride some more . . . .. (smile)   Lake_bueller Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 06:20 pm:        Yep, Bomber is a true Windy City rider.... you grab a Gatorade, Snickers & Slim Jim while gassing up the bike and yourself Then it's back on the road for more concrete carving. I remember some of the first rides with those boys. The only food stop was the free hot dogs at Sauk Prairie!   Court Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 06:53 pm:        >>>>you grab a Gatorade, Snickers & Slim Jim while gassing up the bike I love when us like minded health food types gather....I've cut out the Slim Jims. I find the word "slim" simply doesn't work.   Daves Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 07:09 pm:        Bomber is still spoiled from the first Prairie DuChein ride when We took him to Pete's hamburger stand. Dave   Dynarider Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 09:57 pm:        Young Harley rider   Cjmblast Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 11:05 pm:        The only food stop was the free hot dogs at Sauk Prairie! Hey, don't knock it till you tried it, right Bomber and Rog ??!! CJM P.S. What a CUTE kid !!   Nevco1 Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 04:37 am:        CJ...Agree the kid is cute, but I think he is a poser!!! Bomber...We think alike and now you know why I ride alone. If it doesn't fit in my tank bag, I don't need to eat it. Much prefer a self-inflicted picnic at a scenic spot. Great for the mind and soul.   Bomber Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 08:25 am:        Daves Man have you got THAT right . . . ..kept me, ehem, regular for a month! Bill Then let's just cut the lunch plans and ride! (grin) Sauk Prarie dogs were aces (and free!) I'm of the Slimey Crud mindset when it come to weekend Jaunts . . . .. Ride Hard, Ride Short!   Daves Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 09:29 am:        Bomber, Don't worry, the PDC run is only about a month and a half away! Last Sunday of June! Put away the metamusil(sp) and get ready for a Pete burger! Actually I have a different plan for this year. Meet at the Pizza Hut, ride leaves at noon SHARP, go for a ride thru the twisties and then go to a bar on the river that a friend,coworker is part owner of for food and bullshit time! Sound OK? Dave   Cjmblast Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 09:35 am:        Winging it is way more fun to me than planned, it's the unplanned that turns out to be the most fun !!! Plan a start and meet time, and take it from there without so much over planning !! When everyone's hungry enought to bitch, we can stop Wherever !!! Ride Hard, Ride Short! I say Ride Hard, Ride Far !!!! But then I'm younger than you Bomber, LOL CJM   Bomber Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 09:36 am:        Sounds great! I may be able to talk my wingman (wife) into comin along . . .. if that works out, we'll ride up the day before, as a forced march doesn't appeal to her much . . . I'll put away the metamusical (sp?), trusting that the pipes will be cleaned well soon (grin)
