Woke up to a bright and beautiful day on Sunday. Perfect time to pack our bike and take off for a day ride. Tim decided to head for Illinois and the Shawnee National Forest. The trees are really starting to green up in Kentucky and also in Illinois. Although the sun was shining and the temperature near perfect - the wind decided to put in an appearance with a roar. It reminded us of Nebraska weather and the many rides that breathing was optional against the wind!.
We did come upon a bridge that was very challenging for a motorcycle rider. The floor of the bridge was a grate. This made driving on a grooved highway, child's play!
Tim planned to follow the Ohio River Scenic route to the Shawnee National Forest.
Instead of going back over the ugly bridge, we had the opportunity to ride another Ferry. This Ferry was out of the town of Cave In Rock, IL.
Another great little restaurant, The Red Onion is in downtown Equality, IL. The Sunday menu is very limited with four special lunch plates. We both enjoyed the fried Chicken, three sides, and the atmostphere of a small town diner.
While waiting for Tim to turn the bike around, I found these pretty violets.

I love the violets. We have bluebonnet season here now which is so pretty. Ready for short lived tulips as well.
