HWY 49 AND THE TALLAPOOSA RIVER

Harley and I blessed the roads again Saturday while we waited for our favorite College game to start.  I'm very happy that our ride was much more satisfying than our score, but when your an Auburn fan... well, enough said.

HWY 49

 
Hwy. 49 has always been one of our favorite roads.  Even though it looks pretty straight in this shot, it's full of great curves and hills and the scenery is awesome.  This area is just south of the entrance into the Horseshoe Bend Military Park, which is another of my favorite places.

TALLAPOOSA RIVER

We watched some folks put their canoe in while we stood around stretching our legs and swigging on some sweet tea.  It was a beautiful day for activities of all kinds!

Have a great week everybody!

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I think I almost forgot what green grass looks like.

Sure we don't have to mow it when it is dormant, but it ain't pretty either.

Trobairitz,

Everything is still very green around here. I noticed some of the reds and yellows are just starting to come out in a few of the trees, but we are a ways off from full Autumn colors.

On a good note... We got to enjoy temps in the high 80's finally! Sweet! I think our oppressive heat is gone... till April anyway.

Still seems like summer,

Mq01,

Yep, lots of green still. I'm ready for some color... red, orange, yellow... I love Autumn!

Still have mosquitoes too! ;(

Riding and loving it,
