BuckIdgr and I went for a joy ride, Friday night. We went about 3 hours to what I thought was a bottle & insulator show. We only had a small two hour window for public veiwing. That being said, BuckIdgr wasn't stopping to let me get pics. These are on the fly (And we were flying).

celina.JPG This is Celina, Ohio's City Hall/Fire Station/ Police Station

wind farm.JPG BuckIdgr liked the wind farm

DSCN1700.JPG Turns out it was mostly an insulator show. And a small one at that. We couldn't leave empty handed.



art.JPG Still not stopping. I literally stuck the camera out the window and just pushed the button twice and managed to get this.


railcar switching.JPG Well, this stopped us. LOL!

2engines.JPG It was cool to have a front row seat.

amish.JPG Yeah we slowed way down for this.

monument.JPG We did stop in Fort Recovery. This park is dedicated to all Veterens.

sign.JPG Not sure how accurate either of these accounts are. What we read was that over 900 men were killed in addition there were 250 women that were with the army that were either killed or taken prisoner. Here is a link for more information:

Chris, don't you recognize art when you see it? Lol! I'm thinking it's a tree. What it represents? IDK. BuckIdgr has a lead foot. I believe we were in Decatur, In. Maybe someone from Indiana could chime in???
