Best Blueberry Shake Ride

Sunday ended up being a terrific day for a ride. What started out as a 1 hour ride for ice cream in Big Timber, Turned out to be a seven hour tour through seemingly endless rolling hills. Before we knew it, Big Timber was upon us and time seemed nonexistent; like we were there in a flash. I decided to keep rolling east on I90 and head for Columbus. I figured we could find a place to get some ice cream there.

     With a quick top off of the tank, we headed into town, and just like almost everywhere else in this state, before we knew it we were out of town. Headed south through town we crossed the Yellowstone River and headed for Joliet. The scenery was gorgeous and the rolling curves seemed like they were built for bikes.
     A word of caution, you gotta be careful at the pumps, you never know what going on at the station or when the gas pumps will eventually revolt. It's the fumes man. Here we see three reasons why huffing gas is bad for you.


As is typical my adventures, I did run into a celebrity while traveling through Joliet. As we drove slowly down the main drag I noticed his just sitting in the driveway of , what turned out to be the home of a local artist. We did several turn rounds before I made up my mind to stop. While he seemed to ignore me as I approached with camera in hand and refused to say one word, I did manage to take a few pictures. He is a star to your kids and you may know him by the catch phrase of his alter ego. Git 'er done!

 About 6 miles east of Joliet is a hidden treasure of old school fast food. The Quick Stop Drive In,
http://quickstopdrivein.com/menu   A destination for any day you spend more than 23 seconds trying to decide what you want to do today. You can get an Elvis shake,Dr. malt, cheese curds or even a flat dog.
If you have 75cents burning a hole in your pocket, you can add a scoop of huckleberry ice cream to any pop! I had the blueberry milkshake and it was without a doubt the best blueberry shake EVER. You go and then come back here and vote. The place is fun. Fun food, fun atmosphere and a fun destination.
