It was a cold, wet Friday morning when I left my home in the country.  I stopped to take the first picture not far from my home only to find out that I forgot my wife's camera.....sooooooo I pulled out my Crackberry and YOU, my friends, can enjoy some really, really bad looking photos!!!  

It was just above freezing and the roads were wet, ice was random so dirt roads were really nice this morning.  About 30 miles into the trip I decided to turn on my heated vest only to find out it had stopped working.  Hmmm, tested everything last night.....  Ended up in a Missouri Radio Shack before I checked it out and found it to be a bad cable.  Widder doesn't support this anymore as they are no longer in business so I chopped the end off and made my own.  Of course I didn't need it anymore.....It was in the upper 40s as the sun was going down and I had my winter riding gear on anyway and my stay for the night was close by.  The vest is just nice because it keeps you toasty and I'm just a girly man...I don't ride a Harley and wear a handkerchief over my face......

First stop not far from home I got some photos of our neighborly farmland.  I do love our flatlands for their beauty.

They are not bad at all, the colour set gives them an almost vintage flavour.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Some Iowa Farmland.  Plenty of nice dirt roads on this trip going through the farm country.

Turned out to be an old abandoned church named "Campground Church"  I couldn't tell if the cemetery was still used or not...These stones were 1840's

Beautiful Misery.  Northern Missouri is gorgeous.  Full of rolling hill after hill and single lane bridges.  Saw only a couple other people on my route.

I came across a lot of these beautiful signs on this route.  Gorgeous, muddy (deep mud) roads.   :naughty  I was glad to have my TKCs this trip even if they were a little worn out already.  These roads were like gumbo. :ricky

I came across some kind of "Reserve"  Seemed to be a man made lake.  Spotted a deer as well.

Back in Iowa headed north.  It was a gorgeous trip.  Pretty boring from here so I didn't take anymore pictures.  I hope you enjoyed this short little ride.  All in all a little over 900 miles.

I felt like it was going to snow all morning so the color isn't too far off.  The ole Crackberry worked out though!

I must admit it was nicer than carrying around a bulky camera.  However, the pics could have been a LOT better.
