The Spokesrider

(Sep 28, cont.) Less than a mile east of Carlos, there was another excuse to stop: fence posts. In this case they were concrete corner fence posts that had been painted red. At least I presume they once served as fence posts. Now they’re just monuments. The farm at the end of the lane belonged [...]

Carlos is only a mile west of the previous stop at the driveway to the Catey farm. I wrote about the Carlos grain elevator in the evening after returning from my September 28 ride. Here are a few more photos of the place, starting with the main intersection where I spied the grain elevator out [...]

(Sep 28, cont.) About 1.5 miles after stopping to take the photo of Martindale Creek, I stopped for another photo for documentation purposes. I remember that stop. I was standing in a long, gravel driveway that led to a farmplace that was back from the road. I remember deciding not to point my camera in [...]

A month later and it looks like I’m still writing about my crossing of the 1809 treaty line in southwest Randolph County, Indiana. There’s another item in the Journal of the Proceedings of the 1809 treaty that caught my attention when I first read it a month ago. It has to do with the fact [...]

(Sep 28, cont.) I lingered several minutes where my route crossed the 1809 treaty line. This blog will linger there, too. The above photo looks south-southwest along the treaty line. It’s about at this point that the land starts to become gently rolling. On a 2007 ride when I had followed this road, the land [...]

(Sep 28, cont.) As on the previous day, when I crossed the 1809 treaty line I stopped to take photos. That was the 3rd time I visited this particular straight-line segment of 1809 treaty line, and this is at least the 3rd time I’ve blogged about it. So in order to have something new to [...]
