Its that time of year agin! Time for ROAST TRIP 3!

We’re well aware that we didn’t quite finish updating you from out adventure in California, but here is a clip of us on the Price is Right that aired in November. I think it makes up for the lack of blogging AND perfectly describes how excited we are for RT 3!

Stay tuned for August 11th when we set out on a week road trip to Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth, and Minneapolis.  We’re so excited to cross off more states, stadiums, and great lakes off our bucket lists! We’re anxiously anticipating to show you guys what all we have planned ahead! 

In the meantime I will try to update you guys on some exciting things that happened after Roast Trip 2!

Steaming Down the Old Milwuakee Road Main by Jeff Terry Via Flickr: The Prairie Village, Herman & Milwaukee is a two-mile standard gauge railroad that operates on the grounds of Historic Prairie Village in Madison, South Dakota. The primary motive power is 0-6-0 29, originally US Army 4047 and later Duluth & Northeastern. The railroad also rosters a former US Air Force GE 80-ton diesel, 1687, affectionately known as "The Colonel," and a replica South Dakota Central doodlebug. These images were taken during Railroad Day 2021, held June 26th.

Grayland

I believe this is an outbound train headed for Milwuakee. We’re on the Milwaukee Road, just eight miles out from Union Station, at Grayland.

The equipment is the French RTG, or so-called Turboliner, operated by Amtrak. Looking at the final image closely, I also believe the train will soon cross over a north/south line of the C&NW, with Mayfair just beyond that.

Welcome to America: WorldSBK takes on the Golden Gate Bridge

WorldSBK takes on the Golden Gate BridgeIt’s time for the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship riders to take on America, and they were offered the best possible welcome as they took to an escorted ride over the world famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, ahead of the GEICO US Round in two days time.

The sun shone down over the Californian landmark, and Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK), Alex Lowes (Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team), Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), Eugene Laverty (Milwuakee Aprilia), Loris Baz (GULF Althea BMW Racing Team) and wildcard Josh Herrin (Attack Performance Two Wheel Legal Yamaha) swung their legs over road legal versions of their SBK® machines, riding from Vista Point straight over the iconic bridge.

With three time world champion Rea leading the way at the front of a chevron formation, they were able to have to some fun in the Californian sunshine on their five mile ride. Relishing the ride over as they look out onto the Pacific Ocean, the riders were able to live their own American Dream ahead of Round Eight of the championship, in a once in a life time Wednesday ride.

Parking up at Ghirardelli Square, the fun didn’t stop there as the local delicacy of Clam Chowder was on offer, and they were joined by local heroes Jake Gagne (Red Bull Honda World Superbike Team) and PJ Jacobsen (TripleM Honda World Superbike Team). Meeting with local members of the media, anticipation is certainly building ahead of what is set to be a stunning weekend of racing action.

Racing alongside MotoAmerica this weekend, the on-track action will be second to none, and it wasn’t only the WorldSBK riders who had fun over the bridge, as they were joined by Yamaha’s Cameron Baubier and Suzuki’s Valentin Debise.

Don’t miss the WorldSBK action on track this weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Friday welcomes free practice from 09.45LT (-7 GMT), with Superpole at 11.00 and lights going out for both races – Race One on Saturday and Race Two on Sunday – at 14.00LT.

NBA playoff scores 2017: Bucks let perfect opportunity slip away in Game 4

The Bucks had a chance to go up 3-1 but let the Raptors tie the series before heading back to Toronto.

Saturday started slow but the final two games of the day made up for it. The Raptors and Grizzlies both tied up their series at two while the Hawks got their first win against the Wizards. The Warriors ripped out the hearts of the Trail Blazers in brutal fashion. Out of the four games, Grizzlies-Spurs gets the game of the day award. An OT thriller capped off with a Marc Gasol game winner. Here’s your recap of the day:

The Bucks let the Raptors back into the series

It was not the prettiest game by any means but that doesn’t matter in the playoffs. The Raptors badly needed a win in Milwuakee to avoid going down 3-1 to the Bucks and thanks to DeMar DeRozan they got it done. The Bucks on the other hand had a perfect opportunity to go up 3-1 heading into Game 5. They had every chance to do it on Saturday but let it slip away and now a more veteran team in the Raptors have taken back control.

It doesn’t matter how the win looks, because the Raptors were willing to take it however it came. DeRozan steadily contributed throughout the first 24 minutes, ending the half with 21 points. Down the stretch, DeRozan’s efforts were matched by the other Raptors stars — Kyle Lowry snuck in for a couple layups, while Jonas Valanciunas even scored six points down the stretch. But it was DeRozan who made sure the Raptors reached that point, and Toronto couldn’t have survived without his 33 points, nine rebounds and five assists.

Hawks pull off decisive Game 3 on Wizards

The Hawks needed a win on Sunday and they needed it badly. After jumping out to a 25-point lead, they were able to sustain it throughout the rest of the game winning 116-98 in Game 3.

The Hawks went to Paul Millsap, who finished with 29 points on 12-of-20 shooting. Dennis Schroder’s speed and timely three-point shooting resulted in 27 points and nine assists, and rookie forward Taurean Prince had his best game of the series. He caught the Wizards off-guard for 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting, making both of his threes and bringing a junkyard dog defensive mentality reminiscent of ex-Hawks forward DeMarre Carroll.

The Hawks will need a lot more of this in Game 4.

Grizzlies-Spurs gave us a wonderful Game of the Year candidate

These are the games we dream about when we think about the NBA playoffs. Two players going back and forth, leading their teams as far as they could take them. We even got a game-winner to boot.

Kawhi Leonard seemed more like a robot than ever.

He turned in a Herculean performance that featured a playoff career-high with 43 points on 14-of-30 shooting, scoring San Antonio’s final 16 in the fourth quarter. Leonard erased an eight-point deficit with under five minutes left in regulation to force overtime.

But Mike Conley and the Grizzlies got the win.

Conley scored 35 points in 42 minutes, shooting 13-of-23 from the floor in the Grizzlies’ victory. He nearly put up a triple double, adding on nine rebounds and eight assists in one of the best games of his career. He put up 11 in the fourth quarter, stabilizing a Memphis team in shambles with its floor general on the bench to help fend off a rallying San Antonio squad attempting to steal a game on the road.

Marc Gasol’s game winner capped of a game for the history books.

Game 3 of Portland-Golden State was eerily similar to Game 3 of Pacers-Cavaliers. Higher seeded team builds big lead and appears to have hope in series then lower seeded team wakes up and rips their hearts out. The Warriors were able to erase a 16-point lead in four minutes during the third quarter led by Klay Thompson three-pointers and JaVale McGee dunks.

In a four-and-a-half-minute third-quarter stretch from 6:30 to two minutes, Thompson scored 11 points on 3-of-3 shooting from downtown. That 19-1 run was catalyzed by JaVale McGee, who scored on two alley-oops and energized a Warriors team itching to make a run. Golden State outscored Portland by 17 when McGee subbed in in the third quarter.

It got better for the Warriors when Steph Curry caught fire in the final period. The two-time MVP scored 14 points in the fourth quarter on 3-of-5 shooting, including 2-of-4 on threes and nailing all six of his foul shots. He also had four dimes in the fourth quarter, putting the cap on an incredible night that produced 34 points (10-of-25 shooting), eight assists and two steals.

The Warriors now lead the series 3-0 and while a 3-1 lead may scare them, I think they’ll make it out of this one.

Haley Tower

Here we see a westbound on the Big Four at Haley Tower in Terre Haute, Indiana. The line was New York Central, then Penn Central, Conrail, and eventually CSX. It crossed the Milwuakee Road and C&EI at this point. The Pennsylvania Railroad also ran through this town on the Wabash River.
