It's looking ominous, I should have geared up. |
These 1% ers were wearing their colors and maintaining a nice 85 mph. |
I wasn't able to ID their club. |
My GPS took me through Indianapolis and I was thinking it would be cool to see the raceway. |
What do you know, the place is huge. |
I arrived at my brother in law's house. |
Back in a garage with a riding partner |
Steve in his kitchen |
On our way to dinner |
After seeing this monument, He is reconsidering cremation. |
We had a nice steak here before heading out to find some covered bridges. |
Riding through the Rob Roy Bridge near Attica, Indiana. |
Man that itches! |
Maybe if I comb it it will go away. |
Oh yeah, I'm good to go now! |
Now this is styling, not like the old guy on the wing. |
Very strange house near the bridge. |
Some cool old buildings near one of the bridges. |
We rode through most of the bridges |
This bridge was moved to this location |
It used to be near the insane asylum that this guy escaped from. |
We came across this lot of Amish Tractors |
This town of Mansfield only comes alive once a year during the covered bridge festival. |
During the month of October |
Steve entering the bridge |
Once inside the bridge it got a bit iffy just trying to keep the wheels on the boards. |
Most of the bridges must have had the same architect. |
This river provided the power for the rolling mill |
This mill ground a lot of corn |
Not a covered bridge |
This is the bridge that Steve wanted to show me |
The Bridgeton Mill resides right next to the bridge |
These are the gear reducers that convert the water power to drive the large grinding stones. |
Creative rain gutter system |
Inside the bridge |
Several windows |
This kid climbed up the inside wall through and opening at the top then jumped into the river. |
View of the mill dam under the bridge |
There are a lot of these covered bridges that are not being used any more, but are kept around for nostalgia. |
Cool biker bar in Rockville, IN |
I'm always amazed at the magnificent buildings some of these very small towns have for City Hall |
The old Jail |
St
Still in use today |
Another big one |
It is amazing they are still standing after so many years |
You would think they would have washed out in a 100 year flood by now! |
It is starting to get dark and I think these guys are settling in to catch some catfish |
Looks like he has caught a lot of them in his day! |
It was well engulfed in flames when we arrived, but fortunately we were able to keep it from being a total loss. |
My GPS thinks I'm on a dual sport |
I would never have chosen this road, but when it was all said and done, I was glad that it chose me! |
Some of the places you come across on these back roads just take you back to a much more peaceful time |
