and speaking of bongs-there is the Bong recreational area over towards Racine. I always wondered what type of recreational behavior was taking place there whenever I drove by the entrance.

Irma`s
RK,
You must have had pie at Irma`s in Argyle!!
I was there the summer of 2006 and had her Sour Cream Rasberry pie and I was told that I was lucky to get it, as her pies are usually gone by the time of day we were there.
All I know is it was the BEST there is!
I was researching my "Jacobs" family history there.
Such a great friendly place that I spent much of my youth also on my "Erickson" ancestors farm. My mother was baptised at the old WIOTA church, I believe the oldest still open in the area.

I find myself drawn to the ex-girlfriend of both Crosby and Nash, and that would be Joni Mitchell. Two quotes come to mind. First, from Crosby ref: Joni with a side ref. to Graham Nash: "She's a tough woman to love, but we both tried!"

Hey rck, did you know that the M&M Cafe in Monticello was successfully sold? It is closed for now but is scheduled to re-open in March. Don't know if it will be keeping the same name or offering pie.
For now our buttons that we biked to the M&M Cafe for pie, are collectibles. Stapfam has one of them.

Tom,
As a matter of fact some just told me that it had been sold. I believe that it has been purchased by someone from Argyle. M @ M I believe have purchased a house in NG.
Pegib-Yes it is Irma's in Argyle and they still have very good pie.

My mother's family homestead is just outside of Wiota. Lots of Norwegian-sons in that area. Holverson, Erickson, Johnson, etc.
RCK and I have talked about doing a ride from Monroe to Wiota, probably via Argyle, and back to Monroe, probably via South Wayne. It would be an interesting backroad-y, scenic ride of about 50 to 60 miles.
How 'bout that? I managed to work in both a 50+ reference and a cycling reference.
