Pictures loaded at Last!

I did go on the ride Sunday to Kinusa Dam in PA. I met up with the WOW group and told them if I just disappeared, not to worry, I was just heading out on my own. I didn't care for the route they had picked and then the leader didn't seem to know where they were going, so when they pulled off the road, I passed them, went up to a scenic overlook I knew about just a few hundred yards up the road and let them turn around and leave. I ended up meeting a sweetest old couple sitting in their car eating breakfast. Turns out she had been a widow for 27 yrs when they started dating. This scenic overlook was where she liked to pray, so he started going there with her. He proposed to her there and they were married there and now eat breakfast there 3 or 4 times a week.
After leaving them, I headed to my more scenic route to Kinsua Dam. What a beautiful ride. The leaves haven't changed yet so traffic was very light. I reached the first dam overlook, stopped to take pictures, called Nicki to talk for a while, watched the WOW group ride by, then finally got back on the bike and headed down to the next overlook right next to the dam. Didn't find the WOW group there but did talk to a couple guys on bikes from OH. Next it was down to the parking area below the dam, no WOW group there either. I guess their idea of riding someplace is to ride by it and look without stopping. Oh well, their lose.
You can't get close to the bottom of the dam any longer, I assume because of security since 911. I decided to head back the same way I traveled down to Kinsua so I could take the pic below which is along RT 59, the route the dam is on. I took about 3 dozen pics during this stop. This one I'm going to put in my Venturer's calender contest.
These other pics were ones I wanted to post with an earlier post. Below is Cory and Mason on the bulldozer
The pool all winterized. I heard today that the farmers almanac is saying it's going to be a harsh and cold winter.
This is my new iPod player thingie in my car. I'll be trying it out in my bus also.
Cory's bonfire. The pic doesn't really show the scope of this fire, it's probably 20 feet across

A big old bonfire is just the thing for summer turning into fall.
