WI Rustic Roads Rides
The WI Rustic Roads Award Program is set up by the WI DOT to encourage motorcyclists to enjoy the Rustic Roads System throughout Wisconsin. Ride 10 of these roads and submit proof and you recieve a patch, 25 and recieve a special certificate. So the following photos and descriptions are the Rustic Roads I've been on in the order I rode them.
I did the first 8 roads on April 3, 2005 and covered 280 miles by the time I was back home.

April
3, 2005
Hwy MM just
north of Hortonville. Nice easy ride, good pavement. |
|
Rustic Road #57 April 3, 2005 I accessed this off Hwy 10. Watch for sand in the corners. Pavement is mostly good, but the sign marking the turn onto Town Line Rd, just after Cobbtown, is down. Watch for the turn or you'll miss it like I did. |

Rustic
Road #17 April 3, 2005 I roade Hwy 54 w , then turned N on Hwy D. follow that for a bit (nice ride) to the junction with Hwy T. Take T until you run into #17. Again, watch for the right turn onto Otto Rd, the sign is not there. Very nice road. |

Rustic
Road #23 April 3, 2005 Heading E on hwy 54, I turned onto Hartman Creek Rd. Just before you enter the state park, #23 goes off to your left. Not tremendously scenic for the first part. The ride thru the town of Rural is very pretty. |

Rustic
Road #24 April 3, 2005 #24 intersects #23, so I rode it to the dead end and turned around to finish #23. Very scenic, lots of turkeys out in the fields. |
|
Rustic
Road #48 April 3, 2005 #48 is just out of Saxeville and is a very nice ride, pavement is OK with several blind curves and loose gravel |
|
Rustic
Road #22 April 3, 2005 This "road" is a 1 lane rutted, potholed, 99.9% gravel, sand and mud path thru the White River Marsh. A flock of turkeys challenged me for the right to be on this piece of dirt. If it was wide enough to turn around, I would have. |

Rustic
Road #72 April 3, 2005 Also part gravel, but not as scary as #22. Pretty, but not spectacular scenery. Road is fairly straight and boring. |
Velma road with me over Roads # 48 & #23 - no new pix

of Hwy 41 near Kaukana, nice little country road. |

Road #7 We actually thought Pine Grove Rd was more scenic before we got to the Rustic Road 7. The last stretch is gravel |

The most scenic
of the day. Runs thru Point Beach state forest and along Lake Michigan,
very nice pavement, beautiful scenery. The road was a little angled,
so I hopped of and took the pic. |
