Barns with quilts

Another beautiful day for riding.  I guess because of the nice weather this all I want to do. Ride, ride, ride.  


I head out about 2:00 in hunt for some barns with quilt prints on them.  I mapped out where a few of them are.  Followed 36 close to Piqua and then north on some back country roads.


Most of  these were near Fletcher, OH




This is near a Historical farm that was not open today 

so I took pictures  from a distance.
I wish I could have gotten closer on this  it looks really unique. 



Kiser Lake


Potty brake.

Was a great ride, explored alot of little back  country roads.

Have been out riding every day this week with the indian summer we are having.  This weather is great, I wish it would last longer.  Today Pat and I met and headed up to Waldo for that awesome fried bologna sandwich.  We took the roads that hugs the river on the right side. Very little traffic, such a nice and easy going ride.






When we get to G & R Tavern it is packed, we have 2 groups in front of us.  Hard to believe on a Thurs. afternoon.  The couple in front of us offered that we could share a table with them.  We had a very nice visit with them. Pat is great  with strangers and conversation.  After lunch we head north to check out a spot  I had found on http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/10847 really interesting.  I love the site. The last two pictures are of where a man was killed by a tree and buried in  the exact spot.  Such a strange thing to see, been there since 1833.  We then head back on 257, nice road , newly paved with just a pleasant amount of sweeping curves.  I off onto Fry Rd. and Pat goes on into Cols.  Fun day.
