Ride to Caesar Creek Lake and State Park

A day of relief from bad weather. So it was time to roll out the Moto Guzzi V7 and get some helmet time. Destination? One of my favorite places for a ride, Caesar Creek Lake and State Park. The roads to and from are country, curvy and constant.

Dam and spill way letting out quite a bit of water.

BTW, last Friday, I learned my new Moto Guzzi would be at a truck terminal in town by end of day, and it should be at the dealer this week!!

See you on the highway.

A Walk on the Little Miami Rec Trail

Spring has arrived. At least the weather finally says so.

Trees are budding out. Wild flowers are popping up. Trillium is nearly ready to bloom, and it’s all along the Little Miami Scenic River and its partner, the Little Miami Recreational Trail.

For several months, I followed the invitations and hiking locations of the Tri-State Hiking Club in the Cincinnati area. I finally decided to join them, and ventured off for my first hike in 2013.

Hiking at the Caesar Creek Nature Preserve

Sometimes, I just have to combine two of my favorite pastimes—motorcycling and hiking. And so I found myself on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, motorcycling one my favorite roads to a favorite hiking spot, Caesar Creek Nature Preserve.

G10--11

I entered the trail and wound my way along the creek, observing how high the water is and how fast it was running. Clearly, the Army Corps of Engineers has increased the output at the dam, just a couple of miles up creek.

G10--5

There was only one other car in the parking lot, it’s occupants nowhere to be seen. It’s like I had all the trails to myself. How serene!

G10--8

See you on the highway.
