The Cup Stays in Wisconsin

Well it was a heated competition but the Hayducsko Cup will remain in Wisconsin - even if only for a short time. The honor passed from Young George to his dad.



He looks so happy about it, doesn't he?


The Competitors. Back row, l to r: Will, GP3, Scott, George, Charles (Judy's bro), Linda (actually, Linda was a cheerleader). Front row, l to r: Halle and Ib (exchange student, Malou's mom and her man), Carole, Judy.

The Hayducsko Boys: Will, Scott (nephew), George (brother) and George (nephew).





The champ sinks one.












So close, and yet ... so far.











In other news....
Earlier in the day, before we got to George and Judy's place, we stopped at a Sinclair gas station with this really cool giant dinosaur.

816 Miles later…

Stopped for the night in Rockford, IL (just west of Chicago). Very late. Too sleepy to compose any sort of elegant prose and not much to report anyway… just driving, driving, driving. Toward the end, went through about 25 minutes of nasty-butt storm. Drove by Comiskey Park shortly after the Yankees finished kicking white sock butt. Just a short five hours tomorrow morning and we will arrive at Midwest Chez Hayducsko.

Leaving tomorrow!

Aired out the tent and sleeping bags today (that's the rain tarp for the tent strung across the two clothes lines).

T: minus 5 days...

Nothing done yet. No packing. No laundry. No idea how we are going to get ourselves ready to leave by Thursday.
