Someone must stop for me at the home made ice cream place that uses really old gasoline engines to turn the ice cream makers. I never passed that stop by wherever it was.
Good to know that John K. had a Bock frame!

RAGBRAI had a number of vendors that followed the route, and these became favorite places to take a break. Beekman's homemade ice cream was one of mine too. I took a few photos to memorialize this favorite spot back in 2009.

happy customers enjoying their ice cream.



three "hit and miss" single cylinder engines power the ice cream making machines.
