So I planned to bike for an hour and then left an hour and a half to get back as I was sure I'd get lost - I know myself only too well!
But it didn't take long enough and so off into the countryside I went. I saw this old covered bridge in the woods and had to go check it out.
I got turned around a few times and ended up back in the industrial area and couldn't remember how to get back to the main road. So I stopped a couple of times for directions..which were pretty useless because I didn't understand a word except for the map one gentleman gave me at a gas station. So I was able to sort out where I needed to go but it was still hard trying to figure it all out.
I was really relieved when I smelled the pig farm (even before I saw it). And then I saw the covered bridge and knew I was headed the right way but then there was an intersection that I couldn't remember which road I had come in on. So I tried all three and picked the right one last! Again, typical!! I was so thankful when I saw this...and knew I was back!
Guess how long it took me to get back....the whole hour and a half I'd left for myself!

Wow! You got lost! What an adventure. This part was hilarious - "really relieved when I smelled the pig farm"! Love the pics to go with the story.
It was an adventure - I'll always have fond memories of that little escapade. There was a little convenience store beside the bakery that had some Easter things for sale. I picked up a little chicken for a dollar - He's my little keepsake for that crazy bikeride. I probably looked like a chicken in the way I walked around the next day after 2 1/2 hours on a bike.
