Back Home

Last day and no real plans, just knew I had to get home sometime today. We were close to Arthur, IL which is an Amish settlement. Really didn't think we would see much since it was Sunday, but we did see this guy out. After leaving there we went to Parke Co, in Indiana. It was an area we have been to before. There are 31 covered bridges in this small county. Before, when we were here, we saw most of them, but thought we would stop through again.

Catlin Bridge, Built in 1907 and was 54 ft long. This one was moved to this area.

West Union Bridge, Built in 1876 and was 315 ft long.

Marshall Bridge, built in 1917 and was 56 ft. long

This was along the way. The bicycle was as tall as me. To get the true perspective, look at the seat. It was a normal bike seat.

Rush Creek Bridge, Built in 1907, 77 ft long. It has recently been painted. (They are having a covered bridge festival here in 2 weeks so guess they are getting ready)

Jackson Bridge, Built in 1861, and is 207 ft long

Buddy driving the pony through

This really gives you a better idea of how long it is.

After leaving the covered bridge area we drove through another Amish area we had been to 3 years ago. Didn't really think we would see much since it was Sunday, but there were quite a few out on the road. Sorry some of the pics are blurry, I had my camera on the wrong setting, plus we were moving along at a pretty good clip.

Our route today.

This was the GPS when we got home. It was off by about 61 miles according to the mileage on the car. Something was wrong and it kept shutting down. So our total mileage was 2,917 miles.

So, until next year, that was the trip in the Pony. I think we have pretty much covered the upper states, so guess we will have to move south. Really wish we could drive the California/Oregon coast, but we would need more than a week to make it there and back. SOMEDAY!!!!
