PIC OF THE WEEK - THE JACK B. VENABLE BRIDGE

CR 50 in Elmore County is a nice little road that delivers you to The Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail, a beautiful scenic overlook of  Lake Martin. On the way there, however, you get to ride cross the Jack B. Venable bridge and the Tallapoosa River.

JACK B. VENABLE BRIDGE

Coming up on the bridge seems uneventful, however, as you ride across, you get a dose of interesting scenery and old history as your mind jumps into action as it registers your "snapshot" to memory.

The "old" Jack B. Venable Bridge

 The history behind old broken bridges like one this interest me. These retired, crumbling bridge abutments stand as haunting reminders of the original structure that once graced this spot. They almost seem like a sad memorial to an era gone by, and the history they hold deteriorates with them as they age and weather.

... kind of like us!

Have a great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - LOOK BOTH WAYS

When Harley and I are out exploring little country roads we've never been on... we often cross over small rivers and creeks. Sometimes the bridges are large and impressive, and sometimes you might not even realize it's a bridge... till you look both ways.

The bridge...

Looking left...

And looking right...
This scene may not be as impressive as some as our other bridges and rivers, but with the Glides at rest, the quiet peacefulness of nature came over me while I stood there and listened...

It reminded me of why, while riding... I always look both ways.

Have nice week everybody!
