I broke bread today with my friend Donnie. He has been working his way back from a tough stroke almost a year ago that has kept him off of his bike. His goal is to get back on it.

His DonnieOnTheRoad Blogs have been an inspiration to me for several years an we finally got to meet up and ride last year.

I'm keeping him in my prayers and hope you will to that we will get to ride together again one day! Now why did that nice lady have to take both of these pictures when I had my eyes closed?

These signs were along the road for several miles. Must be for jungle training

I rode past this police action as I was coming into Dover

When I past them, the police had their guns pointed at the suspect. You can still see his hands up out the passenger window.

I have no idea what went down, but was glad they were too busy to give me a speeding ticket!

Looks like it is under control

This was an interesting stop

hopefully you read this if I make it a little bigger.

The picture before thee explains what this is.

A roadside sign said Bison Grazing. Guess they were right.

Riding the Trace on The Land Between The Lakes part in TN and part in KY. is this restoration of an 1850's farm

In those days, Johnson Grass competed with the corn.

The main home

The employs are all in period dress.

KT, maybe one of these would work for you. :)

If not, maybe this one!

I learned what this is at Mark and Wanda's
It's called a pie safe

The women in those days had to tend an acre of garden for each child. 

I'd of been training those kids early

Sometimes the men were weavers by trade and would take their loom from town to town on a wagon.

Tobacco was a major crop of the area

After harvest it is hung in the barn from stringers

A fire is then started in the bottom and the doors are closed up. the heat would dry it and the smoke would flavor it.

It was getting toward evening and the chickens were coming home to roost

The old tool shed

Pretend workers

Nice display of farm tools

A door lock for the front door

Foot operated wood lathe

A full crew of pretend workers

Probably why it's still there

You can drive through this area for $5. I started to go, but the sign said no motorcycles.

Lots of wildflowers along the road
