All the folks I talked to, after you all had gone, all said that they REALLY loved having ALL of you, "most excitement we've had in a year!!" "When ya'll comin back???" These were from people at the resturants, at the gas stations. And from Connie at the Wagon Wheel " That's the most excitement we ever get around here and so everybody just loves to have you!!! It's a small town without much goin on, soo they all really liked having something different to look at and admire." Me thinks that eventually it will be like in Tomahawk Wi. when THEY have the Colorama thing in Sept. the locals just stay outa town till it all blows over!!! One local I met did say that he was a little late getting to work due to the LONG line of spyders at 2 crossings that were blocked. So he was happy to see all the diff. bykes but a little ticked at being held up for so long.:lecturef_smilie: Just my 2Cents. and back to reality!!:roflblack:

I think everyone would be happy to have the spyders back . People get held up in traffic without the spyders. In the summer, when there are floaters going to and from Steelville, there is a constant stream of traffic.

We just hope that you all enjoyed your time in Cuba and come back when you can.

In September there is a large Patriot Guard gathering in Steelville and September 24 there is a bike/car show in town.

If you are close, the third weekend of October, we have Cuba Fest with narrated tours of the murals on Saturday aboard 1904-style trolley. Food, crafts, activities, and family fun.

You all missed the Scottish comedian and actor Billy Connolly. He and his film/production crew stayed two nights at the Wagon Wheel this past week while they were filming scenes along Route 66. He had a Boom trike to ride when he was filming scenes. I guess he doesn't know about the Spyder.

By the way, my husband has been bitten by spyder envy. He wants one!
