A lake, a creek, a covered bridge and a wolf?

[the Ferret]

After watching Dani Pedrosa win his first MotoGP of the season it was time for a ride. Temperature was a nippy 58 degrees and the skies were clear and bright blue. Figured I'd hit some curves that pass by some water this morning. So first photo stop was at White Oak Creek outside of Bethel, Ohio

Crossing White Oak Creek out on Bethel-New Hope Rd by New Hope, Ohio is this wonderful old covered bridge, no longer usable.

Next stop was on St RT 774 outside of Mt Orab, Ohio at Grant's Lake named for Ulysses S. our 19th president who was born and grew up in this area. Found these guys casting their hopes and dreams for bass, or crappie or blue gill I suppose.

The lake is shallow but large. My younger brother likes to Kayak here. Hey Redbirds....I spotted the snake like neck and head of a Cormorant cruising the lake. Really rare for this area

On my way thru Mt Orab, Ohio I saw this unusual sight. I'm pretty sure this lady was walking a WOLF!

Headed towards Williamsburg, Ohio I had often spotted this old abandoned building way off in the distance on a side road, and have always wondered what it was. So today, being the wanderer I am lol, I took the side road and I'll be darned, the sign says "Country Farm Restaurant". This place is huge. No way there is enough population in the area to support such an endeavor. No wonder it is sitting vacant now and has been for some time.

Great ride. A little over 68 miles. Temp had moderated to close to 70 by the time I got home.
