Day 3 started late with the SAG wagon arriving in Prescott at 10 am.   The Angel of the Prarie (Wendy K.) stayed at the B&B for a few hours after the rest of us left to rid herself of the stresses of her regular life before assuming her duties as AOP.   Great riding conditions in every way – great road, slight overcast, the banks of the Mississippi with great views, and tailwind.  Bike nirvana.  Arrived in Alma and great B&B (the Hotel deVille) run by Jeff and Dan who also have a cool coffee shop and gallery across the street with absolutely amazing gardens.  Their motto is “it’s not done until it’s overdone.”  Alma is cool – Jeff says it’s Paris without the attitude.  Had a great dinner of Wisconsin cheese, lamb sausage and crackers.  Then off to the Red Ram down the street for many Spotted Cows, a pool table and a great jukebox.  The only down side was the trains that ran outside the B&B – “so often you won”t even notice”.   Rattled the whole B&B every time they went by.
