We stopped at the Clear Fork Gorge again on this trip.

What Frank's saying is, "I swear if I didn't know better, that thing is running straight pipes...." LOL
In truth, it was pretty close to that. :)

Here's some info on the gorge:

We walked toward the overlooks and Rachel got some shots of some "fleurs":

That one's for you, Chad. :)

As you can see, the trees are *close* to changing, but not quite there yet:

The gorge is no joke. It's steep:

Heading back out of the park, we changed up the order a little:

If anyone else gets the chance, I recommend following "myviper". He's a challenge to keep up with. :)
Plus, the exhaust sounds SWEET when he gets it up over 3000 rpms. Very nice indeed.

Hey- the covered bridge again!

I guess we *are* going the right way! LOL

"Hey Tom- get us out of the sticks and onto some open roads!"
"Okay, let's make a right....":

Yeah!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

We ended up going to this super-historic house in Millersburg called the Victorian house. Hundreds of period correct pieces in there. It's amazing how they lived back then. I mean, a gasoline-fueled iron?!??!?

On our way out of the 'museum', we spotted Johnny Law inspecting tags and making sure we all had our tires inflated to the correct PSI. :D

The officer was VERY COOL, and a huge Mopar fan (drives an '08 Ram).
I asked him what he thought of this little collection in the parking lot.
His reaction:

WIN!

We took a little jaunt over to Der Dutchman and saw that the line for seating was....how do I put this nicely.....f'ing long. It was moving quickly, but.....
I was wiped out from the last few days, and Rachel had a ton of work to get done so she could enjoy her Sunday.

We said goodbye to the crew and got on the road back to the house.
I took a back-roads route home (Rt. 62), and found out that it's quicker than I-71! I guess me doing 110+ during a couple of my passes didn't hurt either. :)

Thanks to Tom for setting this up and to everyone else for a great time today. Rachel and I had lots of fun.
We're ready to do it again when you folks are!

I also posted this on Animal Planet's forum with the title "Snakes In The Forrest".
It got deleted.

Looks like a very nice drive! I miss the Michigan Fall weather and driving through the Country roads in the Traverse City area.:2tu: South Carolina has some nice roads but the weather is still a little warm here yet. Looking forward to some brisk air! GO BLUE!:headbang: My 2 favorite teams Michigan and Ohio State!:2tu:
