A ride to the Lake
#1



We have a big state park here in southwest Ohio called East Fork State Park. Used to quail hunt there as a kid before they dammed it up and flooded it to make a huge 30,000 acre recreational lake for boating and swimming. Pretty day, but cool, so I thought I'd ride up there

this is the road that runs down to where they put the boats in...interesting warning eh?

down by the Marina

on the way from the Marina to the Beach I spotted these HUGE nesting boxes with unusual openings (owls maybe?)

On down to the Beach..like I said it was cool and not many people were in or near the water

on the way home I spotted this guy on his steel horse

He rode up for a closer look and I could tell he approved of my horse

I rode a little further and got into some good curves..this one down hill to the left,then right, compression at the bottom and uphill to the left then right

Once home I looked at the rear tire. I'm about using all of it lol
