I started out at about 9:30, which is pretty late for me.
The air was still “cold” ….. the bike loves cool air, so
I wore down the rear tire a bit, enjoying the buckets of torque
That the pig puts out.
I took the detour to the “old” bridge, just to get a picture
Of the “Bridge Out” sign… and to remind MaxxTraxx
how much he had enjoyed that stretch of road leading
to the bridge.
A while later I noticed some 4X4 tracks going up a hill
beyond a “Road closed” barricade…… so temptation
got me and I had to go take a look.
I found a little 4X4 play park, about 20 acres where some
folks had / do have a lot of fun.
I rode about for a while before figuring out how to get round
the whole thing. The laps are not long, but boy I sure got
a good workout
There are some nice jumps and drop-offs and also nice
corners.
Anyhow, I continued up to the where the tornadoes touched
down earlier this year and got a few pics of it’s path where
it crossed the creek. Although the trees have started recovering
already, the destruction is still pretty evident.
Compare the unscathed trees in this shot to the next two
You’ll see most were snapped off at about 10’
Oh yes, here’s a shot of the guy who built his house partially
underground as a Anti Tornado measure… pretty neat
Well stopping the get the camera out every time I saw
something worth taking a picture of, got old pretty quick
so apart from a few more I took of the many tree canopied
roads…. That’s about it..
