RAGBRAI 2011

This week (July 24-30) Iowa is seeing close to 20,000 bikers riding from the Missouri River (West) to the Mississippi River (East) across the hills and plains of our state. Cousin George Luiken, his son Jacob and their three friends from San Diego are on this ride. We have had a great time with them staying in our home two evenings.
