I hope everyone had a great Easter! Saturday was overcast and kept the high 70's temp feeling cooler than it actually was, but Sunday was the kind of day everyone orders for Easter. Sunny, blue skies and above 80 degrees!
We took off on the Glides for a long Saturday ride and we found ourselves taking a short break at one of our frequent stops,
The Confederate Memorial Park in Mountain Creek, AL.
MOUNTAIN CREEK POST OFFICE
The Confederate Memorial Park preserves the site of the Alabama Old Soldiers Home for the Confederate Veterans. The 102 acre park includes a museum, research facility, historic structures, ruins and two cemeteries containing over 300 Confederate soldiers. The Mountain Creek Post Office provided service to the Alabama Old Soldiers Home during 1902 to 1939 before the complex was closed.
There's a lot more about this place I want to share and I seem to take pictures of something else every time we stop there, so I will prepare a deserving post of this cool historic landmark for you soon.
I hope the Easter Bunny was good to everyone, but remember... the bunny does NOT deliver raisins! You've been warned!
Have a great Monday everybody!

There was a day, when a black and blue summer meant a punch in the eye and a kick to the shins, but Harley's blue baby and my black beauty make a great color combination for our lazy summer rides around our sweeping southern highways. We logged almost 250 miles Saturday while our temperature reached 90 and the sun stayed high in a bright blue sky. Better than a punch in the eye I guess.

We stopped by the Confederate Memorial Park near Marbury that same day we rode up to Moundville. While we were stretching our legs and enjoying a cold drink, it appears as though our Glides are sharing their own quiet time with each other.
