End of Summer Part 2: One More Road Trip

It's not unusual at all to have groups of motorcycles buzzing by out where we live, especially when the weather is nice, and this past Saturday it was perfect! So I met up with a few friends who were looking for any excuse to get out on the road one last day of summer, much like I was myself. Unfortunately Lightnin was at home with a summertime cold, which she was happy to share with me (I returned to work with it this morning).


Here's the road crew






Here's their transportation of choice, I of course had the little four wheeled two-seater








We headed down south about 45 minutes from here to a little town along the Ohio River named Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. There was a festival going on with misic (live bluegrass of course) and a historic vehicle show.


These guy's were good!




Just follow the steps down the hill to the river and catch the ferry across to Rising Sun, Indiana.























This was an old grist mill, powered by this hit-n-miss engine. You can see the old hollowed out tree that was once used for grain storage.
















Just in case you're wondering, this is probably how beer got it's start. Just think about what would have happened to the grain if a bit of rain water got into the bin during this time of year, a bit of a fermentation gone wild!












And this was the character that was selling the corn meal, of course he sold a bag of it to me!













With the road behind us, we stopped to wet our whistles before heading on home.








Summer might be over, but Autumn usually provides some good rag top weather too!
