PIC OF THE WEEK - TRANQUILITY

This pic was taken last year around this time at one of our favorite resting stops, Hatchet Creek.  I know I've posted pics of this area before, but it's always so peaceful and quiet here.  I decided it will be okay to share it once again. 


TRANQUILITY
I looked up the word tranquility in the dictionary. It said... the stage or quality of being tranquil. 

So... (of course I did!)
Tranquil - adj., free from agitation or perturbation.  Peaceful.

I agree... and that's our lesson for the day.  Have a great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - SWAMP CREEK AND THE HAPPY FISHERMAN

Saturday was an awesome day to be riding the Glides... and ride we did! The sun came up early and brought with it a nice 70 degree afternoon. I saw some amazing pops of color that makes me wonder if Mother Nature is playing with her own version of Photo Shop but unfortunately, my camera batteries gave out after a handful of shots, so I missed some really cool Spring pictures. Don't worry though... I'll get 'em next time!

SWAMP CREEK
This is where Swamp Creek feeds into Hatchet Creek on CR 29 in Coosa County, right between Titus and Weogufka. This is the same bridge I've posted before, but from a different angle. Harley and I jokingly call this spot, "our bridge" cause we stop here almost every time we ride through the area. I enjoy the peace and quiet of this place and listening to sound of rippling water flowing between the creeks banks is very calming.

I was walking to the other end of the bridge to get my shot (the one above), when I heard Harley say something. I turned to look to see what he said, and I noticed he was hanging over the bridge talking to someone else. WTF? I looked over the bridge my self and there he was...

THE HAPPY FISHERMAN
This was the first time ever, we saw someone fishing this spot in a boat and he was reeling those bad boys in too... about one every two or three minutes. He was having a blast! I tried to get a good shot of him bringing one in (probably what happened to my batteries!), but he was too fast for me. After a little chit chat and good wishes to have a good day, we mounted the Glides and left him to continue his peaceful activity... while we rumbled off to continue ours.

Have great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - HATCHET CREEK

If you've been reading my blog long, you may have seen pics of Hatchet Creek before. It's one of Harley's and my favorite rest stops while we're out toodlin' around the countryside.

CR 29 in Coosa County, between Titus and Weogufka is absolutely one of my favorite roads to ride on. It's a little piece of the Dragon right here in Alabama and we often stop at this bridge where Hatchet Creek and Swamp Creek join together.

HATCHET CREEK
Looking to the west.

Looking to the East.

The Autumn colors along this stretch of highway were just popping! Vivid reds and bright oranges and yellows would pop in and out of my peripheral vision causing me to swivel my head around like a bobble head doll! It was a refreshing ride in all respects... cool air, cool colors and miles of beautiful country road.

???
This road reminds me of a question mark, as if to say... what lies ahead?

Me? I know... I've been up that road before. (smiling...)

Have a great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK

HATCHET CREEK
Harley and I had a great weekend riding all around this beautiful state I now call home. We logged over 500 miles in two days and had a great time doing it! During one of our stretch breaks I had the opportunity to get this picture of County Road 29 at the bridge that crosses Hatchet Creek, a few miles west of Rockford. This windy gem of a road is one of our favorites roads to ride and we often stop here to take a few minutes to enjoy the peace and quiet of this place.

I hope you saw my teaser post on Saturday of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. Awesome day! I'll try to have my slide show of beautiful bikes ready for viewing soon.

Have a wonderful Monday everybody!
