Friday morning, the groups begin rolling out. Groups roll out according to speed with the slowest group leaving first. Morning break will be at the Old East Paint Creek Lutheran Church in the unincorporated community of Dalby, Iowa. From there groups will move on to the Great River Road near LaFayette to Lansing for lunch at “Kee” school. Then the riders will be in for a big treat as they cross the Black Hawk Bridge and touch into Wisconsin, turning around at the boat loading docks and going back across the beautiful bridge across the Mighty Mississippi. From there they go back into Iowa and follow the Great River Road into Eitzen, Minnesota for an afternoon break. From Eitzen, riders will head back to Waukon after experiencing a most spectacular scenic day to be able to explore the area towns on their own. Saturday morning, groups will head South towards Luana and make a pit stop for mid morning break at Swiss Valley Farms just outside of town. Drivers will make their way through Monona and Volney, with a stop in Rossville for lunch before heading back to Waukon to end another beautiful North Iowa Tractor Ride!
