Frozen

[the Ferret]

Sorry for the thread title, my 2 yo grandson has to watch a movie by that name every Friday when I babysit him, but thought it was appropriate title for today's ride.

Day started off at 17 degrees but by the time I took off it was 25. I was snug riding the ST and wearing my electrics. About 20 miles from home on the other side of the county, I passed this creek which had this cool multi tiered partially frozen waterfall. The pic does not do it justice. it was stunning

while taking a picture of it, my brother happened to come by in his pick up and offered to snap a pic of me. (notice I am parked on the "Cormanus" side of the road lol) the falls is over the hill behind me in this pic about 30 feet down.

Since we are both technically retired and had nowhere to be, we decided to go warm up with some of Cinti's famous Skyline Chili.
After lunch, he went home and I continued up the road a ways until I crossed a bridge with a neat frozen creek behind it. Another pic opportunity.

Further along there was a place where there were holes in the ice and the flowing creek water was burbling thru the holes and disappearing back under the ice only to resurface in a new hole. Again the pic just does not do it justice.

Winter has it's own beauty for motorcyclists, if you are willing to look for it.

73 miles on todays ride.
