Easy Ride Day - Windy Though It May Have Been
The cows were not bothered by the wind and I did not see a single one tipped over as I looked across the field toward Mt. Yonah in White County, GA. The rock faces have been used by those folks who hook ropes around their bodies and throw themselves off cliffs. You will not catch me doing that.
The cliff at Shoal Creek along GA Hwy 52 near Clermont. Quite a drop off to the valley below. The creek is a bit low on water so the waterfalls were not as exciting as they might be after several inches of rain. This view is looking south. Just a few miles from here, a farmer killed a 13 foot rattlesnake a few years ago. The man's grand daughter usually went to the chicken house to feed the chickens but had a medical appointment that day. He went to feed them and found the rattlesnake coiled up by the bags of chicken feed. A picture was published in the local paper and the snake went from the ground, up around the guys neck, and back to the ground. I have yet to see a rattlesnake on any of my bicycle rides which is just fine with me. We did have a copperhead coiled up by the front door a few weeks ago. He got away - coward would not stay and fight.
This has nothing to do with bike riding but is a view of our recently remodeled house on the outside. Cultured stone on the lower front, simulated vinyl cedar shakes on the top front, and Hardee Plank on the rest of the house. Also, new high efficiency double pane windows. Power bill has gone down significantly and fully expect my usage of natural gas to decline also. Extra money means more goodies for the bicycle so there is a remote connection to remodeling and bicycling.
