Sights in Southern Indiana (July 24-28, 2024)

Was out in Rising Sun, Aurora and Lawrenceburg Indiana for a few days. One morning got this photo of the Great Blue Heron. Have taken a few over the years of these amazing birds, but this one is one of the best I have seen. Beautiful color. 

Group photo at bottom of the rabbit, art in Aurora and a couple of photos of the motorcycle. The motorcycle can be seen at a store in Aurora called "Hippie Bob's" and was built by the motorcycle designer and builder Indian Larry. Have only seen one other over the years and thought this was pretty cool. 

Always interesting sights to see in these towns along the Ohio River.

Grand Lake St. Mary's (July 19, 2024)

On an amazing Friday we took a drive to the largest lake in Ohio, and had a wonderful time. Low temperature and low humidity with a high of 80 on this July day. 

Saw some amazing sights, had a fine lunch by the water and not only enjoyed the lake views, but also a fantastic drive. Got there via highway, came back via back roads. 

It was our third visit to the area, and looking forward to the next one. 

Thanks for visiting my pages, and be sure to Vote Blue this year.  




 

Barnstorming Carnival (July 13, 2024)

On a warm and toasty Saturday morning, got up early and drove to Springfield, Ohio for the Barnstorming Carnival. It was I believe the 10th year for this event. 
Had a Pancake breakfast there, and checked out some amazing planes. Believe this was my third year to go. 
In the past have flown on one of the biplanes (it was a 1928 Travel Air) which can be seen on a previous post a few years ago. Amazing experience and a first for me on a plane with two wings. 
Had a great time as usual and these are just a very few of the amazing sights there. Admission was free and a great time was had by all attending. Looking forward to returning to this event in 2025.

Indiana Along the Ohio River (June 23-27, 2024)

Beautiful five days in Southern Indiana. Most of the photos below were taken in the Rising Sun area with the exception of the last which is of Lawrenceburg. 

 Was amazed to get the bunny photo, wish I could say it was skill, but was mostly luck.  Took time in the photo directly below to pay tribute to tRUMP, the choice of idiots. 

Weather was beautiful if very warm and humid, but other than one night, was dry. Had a wonderful time there, as always, and looking forward to returning soon.

Dayton Fountains (June 16, 2024)

Out on a Sunday morning, stopped downtown at Deeds Park to see the fountains for the first time in 2024. 

Always a beautiful sight, and certainly worth a look. Enjoyed the visit there, and looking forward to seeing them soon at night when they are lit up.

Thanks for visiting my page, and as always...Fuck Trump!

Wheeling, WV to Cumberland, MD and back (June 10-14, 2024)

Quick turn for after a weekend past the Niagara Falls trip spent at home, we were back on the road. This time stopped in Wheeling, West Virginia for an overnight. Got fish sandwiches at Coleman's Fish Market - one of the best I have ever had. 

After an overnight at Wheeling, drove to Cumberland, MD where we spent a couple of nights. Great time at a beautiful place. 

Fourth photo below is of a lookout of Pennsylvania. Last few photos are from the Wheeling Suspension Bridge. Did another overnight at Wheeling before heading home. It was a fantastic trip!

NIagara Falls and Lake Erie Drive (June 6-8, 2024)

Quick but beautiful trip to New York to visit Niagara Falls. Have been there a few times but never fails to impress. My wife loves it too and we always have a blast there. 

On the way up we took the toll roads, on the way back took the scenic ride. Definitely the scenic route was the way to go. Beautiful views of Lake Erie and a lot of very cool small towns. Enjoyed the drive a great deal. Lots of grapes grown in New York and Pennsylvania. 

Even a very correct sticker seen about the Orange Felon. Thanks for visiting my pages.  







 

Rising Sun and Nearby (October 18-21, 2024)

Spent four days once again in Rising Sun Indiana. The photo at left was taken in Aurora, Indiana, the ones below were all at Rising Sun. I a...
