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
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
