Took the Long Way Home Today - 8/24/2007 12:23:44 PM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline I enjoyed that ride with Pat so much, that I grabbed the camera and took the long way home after work today.  Hope that you enjoy a little of the history in today's ride.  So load up and let's go for a slow ride down some Georgia back roads and see what we can find.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

A car actually ran through this thing a few weeks ago and into the building across the street. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

RE: Took the Long Way Home Today - 8/24/2007 1:33:40 PM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Now we're gonna ride some of those back clay roads of Georgia.  We come up on McCroan's Bridge.  Supposed to be the only wooden bridge still crossing the Ogeechee River.  County Commisioners wanted to tear it down and build a new one, but the folks got together and stopped it.  They updated the railing, it used to be all wood also.  Looks like somebody has put crush & run on this clay road to keep cars from sliding in the ditches.  Ever slid in a ditch on a muddy road? _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

RE: Took the Long Way Home Today - 8/24/2007 1:52:15 PM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Harley tried to follow me one day when he was just a pup and got hit out on the highway.  Broke back leg, broke jaw and some internal brusing.  I didn't believe that he would live through the night, but the vet said if he lived 24 hours he would probably make it , being he was young.  Well he healed up after a 6 months stay in his kennel, no running, no jumping, and on a leash even to go out.  Now all he wants to do is play.  here he's protecting his favorite squeeze toy. He wants me to play. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to logueb) Post #: 20
