RE: Go West young man

OK..so I passed the airport, turned east on St Rt 125 and went across the levee over the Little Miami River, hooked a right onto St Rt 32 and another right onto a road called Clough Pike (pronounced Cluff). Nice winding road. I used to bomb this road back in 1973 on my RD 350 Yamaha, but these days it's a link road between a couple of malls and traffic was horrible (not by Chapomis's or MG's standards but by the ferret's rural Ohio standards) and when I came to a road called 8 Mile road, I took the opportunity to escape traffic and again turned north

8 mile road...ahh much better

I hooked around and headed for a nice curvy road called Teal Town Rd which runs along another river passing this Farmers Market. Apparently Farmers don't have much to sell right now being winter and all, even if it felt like summer.

Once I hit US 50 I was heading east toward home. A right 276 at Owensville took me over to Williamsburg where a right on St Rt 133 took me south to the town of Bethel crossing over this creek where I stopped to take a call from my son about borrowing chairs for todays party.

some zigs and zags off ST RT 222 found me heading south on the sinewy undulating road I call "My Road" aka St RT 743 as it took me once again down to US 52 along the Ohio river. What a great road. This barn on 743 has certainly seen better days.

I again turn west because the circuitous loop I have taken to this point, has now dumped me about 10 miles east of my home town.

A nice cruise along the river put me down in town where I sit on one of the benches on Main St drinking my tea while overlooking the river on one side and my CB on the other

118 miles in total on a 73 degree day in late February. Awesome!
