You have started with the leaving me!

 "Lynn, winter is not over!  How could you take off fur the whole day and leave me to sleep it away!

"Do you not feel guilty?"

Believe me Precious, I was not expecting a dry and 

sunny day with 70 F temps!

So I did take off for a drive to ride a new path to me,

about 50 miles away.

It is along the Muskingum River that flows into the

Ohio, which flows into the mighty Mississippi.

The lock no longer works as you may see the

gates are whopper jawed.  On the up river side

they have piled a wall of huge rip rap to 

try and save the lock from washing away over time.

Boats can no longer navigate up and down this river

as all the locks are out of use.  Most of the river

sections between dams is about 10 miles or more.

In between dams, you can put your boat in though.

The rail road bridge in the above photo

is now part of this 10 mile paved path.

It was fun to be on the bridge looking down on

the river.

This small paddle wheeler is from the early 1970's and they keep

it afloat and offer short river cruises between 2 dams.  It's been

decades since I have seen it and rode on it.

"It is just a furry good thing you got home before it

was my supper time.  As it was, I had my brunch at 3:30

instead of 1:30!  I thought I'd starve to death by then."

I think we made up for it just fine Precious.

Now with rain coming and a 30 degree drop in temps

it will not be bike riding for me for quite a while.

"Lynn, don't you always say these mini daffs

"multiply like rabbits"?  Why don't you take

pictures of rabbits?"

  

I would if I could see them.  Instead our first signs of

Spring in our yard is hundreds of these daffodils.

Which I am tired of thinning and planting elsewhere.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.

It is much appreciated.
