Lisa's..........this time, but it's hard to beat Susie's. It's just not on my "around Red Bud" (but not in Red Bud) loop!

Was there a while back--------without a gps you may never find it------you'll have to take a hike to get to it.
Just about 200 yds. It's on an old road that isn't even there anymore. It's here: N38° 00.013' W89° 39.454' BigDog

I don't claim to know much about bridges but it looks like a pretty common design. Now I need to go find the one you were talking about.

freezing rain fun.
Well Saturday I went to Kansas city from Jeff City on 50. not to bad other than stops due to not having the right gloves. then I may have stayed a bit longer than I pland and got chased down by the storm on the way back to Jeff. Around tipton I stoped for fuel then the race was on. I made it before the roads froze but as you can see I picked up a few pounds of ice. As far as I can remamber this is the first time that I have riden in freezing rain.
here is a video I made with my cold shaking hands and also some blurry images. http://youtu.be/croGV5874Ao ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hey Mizzou fans, does anybody happen to have tonight's game on their DVR or Tivo?
![]() I took Stuboy, and at halftime my phone started going crazy with messages that we were on TV. I'd like to get a screen shot or clip of whatever they had up there. His Kindergarten class (not to mention grandparents, mom and I) would think that's just pretty cool. Anybody? |
