The dog is a 9 pound Toy Poodle mix named Buddy. Buddy has been a tank bag dog for 10 years.
The Church on the (It's Not Flat) hill is Holy Hill. Holy Hill is about 20 minutes from West Bend. Holy Hill ranks as the 30th highest point in the state.
This Picture is taken a couple of miles west of the Hill where Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive crosses State Highway 167.
When a Wisconsin Biker says they are going to Holy Hill, They not only mean they will be going up to the Historical Church, but that they will be riding the curvy Wisconsin Rustic Roads that network around the Church.
This Picture of 1880 Saint Mathew Church was taken about 4 miles south of Holy Hill on Saint Augustine Road, Rustic Road #33.

Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive
The 115-mile KMS Drive traverses six Wisconsin counties. Its northern end is near Elkhart Lake in northern Sheboygan County and its southern end is at Whitewater Lake in southeastern Walworth County. Here is a PDF File that gives you directions for the Route: http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/specific/kmscenicdrive/ScenicDriveDirections.pdf
Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive travels North and South of the Rally site. West Bend is in the middle of the KMS Drive. Before you leave the Rally site, you should find out where you want to get on the KMS Drive. You will need to go West, N/W or S/W to find the Drive. Once you are on the Drive, you will have the green & white Acorn KMS Drive signs marking your way.
Tour: Kettle Moraine Drive (South)
Follow the KMS Drive signs south thru the Kettle Moraine Sate Forest. A nice stop along the way is Delafields Hawk's Inn, which was a 1840 Stagecoach Stop & Old World Wisconsin, then on to Whitewater Lake which is the end of the Drive. At the end of KMS Drive you will have some options, one will have you riding the Lake Geneva and Southern Lakes area, the other would be heading north to Oconomowoc (Newport of the West) & Okauckee Lakes area. Another option area is East Troy, and when there visit Thoroughbred Motors and also the East Troy Electric Railroad Museum.
