It's a great little ride. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have stolen Sandra away from work & put her on the back... |
the Adam's Mill run A great relaxing time is to ride country roads from the edge of town (Kokomo) out to Burlington & then further west to Adams's Mill. Great curvy, quiet roads, a few bridges, some views of Wildcat Creek--a good time indeed! It's about 30 miles from my house to the mill & if I'm being pokey enough, stopping to look around, taking pics etc., the round trip can take 1 1/2 -2 hours. |
bridge over Wildcat Creek just before Burlington --intersection of 00NS & 1150 W |
I just shut off the bike...listened to the water, the birds...prayed, reflected, appreciated everything there is in life...and just felt fortunate to be there... |
Adam's Mill is in the village of Bolivar apparently... |
Here is the Mill--- seems to be major renovation going on--- I assume due to the July 4th 2003 flood... |
I walked down the path in this shot and took the next two pictures. |
Wildcat Creek forms an "ox bow" around the Mill --- that's why the Mill is there, so the water can flow into and out of the mill. |
<< an example of an ox bow--the mill lies between the two closest points of the creek |
This shot is in front of the mill. Just up this road lies the covered bridge you'll see in the next pics... |
My latest epiphany: Indiana looks so much cooler from a bike... what used to seem boring now feels serene... |
