it was awesome. most of y'all have rode it by now so you know whats up, flowing DH benchcut runs that last a mile in the midwest. flow flow flow. We rode all the State park trails first and then we rode the Nebo Ridge trail, which at first i was very skeptical during the first mile or two then it actually became a trail and the fun level increased, but not the same comstruction as state park, but i thought it was a fun middle of nowhere/are we lost style out and back, plus i found a absolutly beautiful timber rattlesnake,which is endangered in indiana! That find alone for me was worth the trip,i may never see one in nature again. and on a side note.....before the bald eagle was our national symbal, it was the Timber rattlesnake that was on our flags and money as the symbol of our country,"don't tread on me". while we were there we walked the town and ate at a good pizza place called harvest moon pizza,thin crust is their style at it hit the spot perfectly,we also chatted with some older ladies at a coffee shop/antique store,when we walked in we thought for sure we by mistake entered somebody's home, but we hadn't and enjoyed the drink and conversations. It was a good quick trip, we left at almost midnight on tuesday/wednesday and "slept " at a truck stop,rode wednesday,then got back home about 2am thursday,just in time for me to make a fire call before going to sleep. A-town and i pack more into 24hours than oprah does into pants.

There is an art, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
