shellit74 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Leaving on Fri night or Sat morning to La Crosse to visit in laws and to see hubby brother who is home from TX. I will be brining the laptop, but may not get to much of a chance to get on. We will be returning on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce u Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well not sure where La Crosse is .....but can the Keg Bus get there ???? Have a great weekend Shelli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Of course the keg bus can get to LaCrosse. It's on I 90 at the WI/MN border. Good beer and good Friday fish frys there. Gotta watch out for the WI State Patrol or whatever they're called. They love to collect money on the interstates. (They leave the tiny towns to the local sheriffs.) It's the home of Special Export beer - if it still exists. Have a good weekend, Shelli. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellit74 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Oh, Muriel.. you have impressed me!!! Yes it is/was the home of S.E. or the green death as some call it The brewery had closed/sold out to Miller, but then a new one came in and they make some good beer also! If you bring the keg bus you can hook right up to this for a refill.... worlds largest six-pack!!!!!!! the old six pack when it was Heileman Brewery now as with the The La Crosse Brewery sign next to six-pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce u Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I think that 6 pack will get the Keg Bus party crowd through the weekend. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellit74 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 La Crosse also has OKTOBERFEST... Good Times,Good Tmes.... http://www.oktoberfestusa.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Impressive, indeed Thank you. Shelli. Those are great pictures. When Miller bought Heileman's, did they discontinue S.E. Always liked S.E. I worked with a guy at National Geographic whose family owned a college/young adult hangout on the edge of town near the river. Really popular place. We stopped there once on a trip back to MN and the place was jammed. Bockenhauer was the name. I think we can find some good beer in La Crosse. We'll stock up for the rest of the trip while we're there. Have fun this weekend. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patti B Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I am loading up the Keg Bus and on my way to pick everyone up!!! Sorry, Muriel, but I brought tranquilizers for you!!! Have fun, Shell!!! Hugs - Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce u Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Doesn't it seem like Shelli is requesting alot of passes lately ??? Missing chat ??? Patti you just might have to speak to our Shelli. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Interesting how she missed the chat that you came back for!!! Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 This is getting scary Does anyone trust Patti with the tranquilizers? That's probably what put her to sleep on the trip to Canada - when Denise fell off the bus and Jayla did all that pattycake stuff. I have my own tranquilizers Patti. BTW, did you clean up the bus from the cow and dog? Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraL Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Geesh...here I thought Shelli was going to a lacrosse tournament which is actually Canada's official national sport (nope it ain't hockey!) . Until of course I realized my ignorance in reading through these crazy posts. I obviously know some about Cdn sport and nada about American geography!

Patti B Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hey - I had the Keg Bus cleaned and detailed. Since its Randys cow and Bruces dog - I am sending them the bill!!! Promise I won't take any tranquilizers, Muriel!!! Patti B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyman35 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Keep in mind that Patti's idea of cleaned and detailed was running it through the car wash with the windows opened. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellit74 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 oh boy... well there is plenty of parking for the bus downtown, or as the local college kids call it DT. oh BTW, there is some sort of state record or something about having the most bars on one street.... Good times, Good times!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce u Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You're right Patti. Shelli did miss chat when I came back. LOL Muriel, no offence, but I'm not sure if I would trust you or Patti with tranquilizers. Sandra I think that is hokey and national sport should be changed to hockey. Denise I bet Patti just drove it around in a rainstorm instead of taking it through a car wash. I think Randy should pay 75% of the bill. A cow makes a bigger mess than a dog...

shellit74 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I think that you should let Muriel drive, as she seems to know the most about La Crosse and where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muriel Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I decided to get an early start on the tranquilizers. Still want me to drive????????? With all those bars, are you sure there is room to park the bus? We don't want to have to walk too far. Now that I'm awake, let me suggest why there are so many bars in La Crosse (a town, not a tournament yet). For years and years, you couldn't buy beer or liquor in Minnesota on Sundays, so the WI river towns made a fortune in their bars and restaurants serving the Minnesotans. To make things even better, back when the drinking age in most states was 21 (I mean back before Viet Nam), it was only 18 in Wisconsin. Popular place with the 18 - 20 year olds. So much for today's cultural geography lesson. On to physical geography, don't feel bad about your La Crosse error Sandy. Lots of us in the states don't know much about where things are in Canada either. Have a safe trip Shelli. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Don't trust me with tranquilzers, Bruce???? Think about it - knowing how I am - wouldn't you rather I be calm??????? Patti B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce u Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Take 2 tranquilizers Patti !!!!LOL Muriel seem's to know a little too much about Lacrosse, the bars, and drinking there. LOL Hopefully Shelli will have some pictures. These ladies are terrible Judy !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yeh Bruce and you're an angel, right? I'm going back to the story and see what you're up to driving that bus. Or did the ladies manage to wrestle it away from you while I was out grocery shopping? Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
