A Chilly Spring Ride

[redbirds_imp]

The weather has been warm but overcast and rain for the most part but this morning broke clear if a bit cold for late March. Wind was gusting up to 20mph but with the beautiful blue sky a ride was in order. I decided to make a northern loop on back roads to Blackshear and from there ride the "Snake" Road, so named for it's many curves (rare around here), and back to the house, roughly 60 miles.

A few views along the Walkerville Road. The remains of an old fireplace where, no doubt, a farmhouse once stood.



Wisteria vines cover old fences and home sites. They're in full bloom and their aroma fills the senses as you pass.



Heading south toward Blackshear I stop on a hilltop to take in the greenery.


A quick stop at ACE to buy some paint and a view of the old Pierce County courthouse.



Some views along "Snake Road".


Also practice riding on the left in case I make a trip to Oz.

Stopped at the church on the county line near home. Moss draped Turkey Oaks and Dogwood blooms adorn thhe churchyard.



I cross Big Creek and head home. What a relaxing ride.
