There are 3 requirements for civilized life: hot showers, flush toilets and air conditioning.

For the last several years Mrs. Grouch and I have done a "Pedal Across Wisconsin" week long tour. (We missed this year and the year that our son got married.) Overnights are Super 8 class motels and they have somebody to schlep your baggage. We've been known to deviate from the published route. In fact, the last time that we went (to Door County), I don't think that we ever rode the same route as everybody else. We keep going back so obviously we're happy with them.
