    I'm off to look at a nicely beat up DR 350 tonight.
    But first a beer and a nap, I'm beat up too.

    So, Judge Allie, is my trestle going to count as a trestle?
    Don't look at me, Redman's the judge!

    I guess you're right, I want something light and beat up - a 250 sounds just fine.

        Old mining equipment it is. When I take a break for a ride today, I'll have to ride to the Crosby area in the Cayuna iron mining range, there's lots of that stuff there.

          Old mining equipment (this is from an ironworks that operated from 1657 to 1872. To be precise, the local ore was depleted quite early, but it's still a mine... The waterwheel provided power for one of the smithies where carbon was removed from the iron.):

          Acceptable?

            Sounds good to me, nice tag. Maybe some of the people near waterfalls can get it. I have to head for Duluth to find something like that, we have lakes, but no waterfalls close by my area.

              I can think of some nice nearby waterfalls, but none that have wooden bridges or that I can get my bike near...

                I thought that might be a little exclusive. How about any bridge across a waterfall. Skip the wood.

                  Like a briiiiiiidge over bubbled water, I will lay me down... Nice tags. Definitely not a 'beginner' tag, but it's another of those 'there has to be one SOMEWHERE' tags

                      Ditto, very few waterfalls here and none of them have bridges.

                          I could get this but its at least a 5 hour ride to a legitimate waterfall with a bridge around here. Have several man made waterfalls (small hydroelectric dams) with bridges, maybe even a wooden one. Don't think that counts.

                              Half the fun sometimes on getting the tag is the drive to it. Today, in my mind, was no exception although I could have done without the cagers. I rode out to the west edge of town to go to Helen Hunt Falls, a place dedicated to the famous poet and writer. It is said she went there alot to get inspiration for her work.

                              Despite the ominous look of a good thunderstorm, I started up Cheyenne Canon.





                              The fork to the left would have taken me to Seven Falls, one of the Wonders of the World, but I didn't feel like paying for that ride. It has 7 levels of falls with the longest staircase in the world (or almost) and bridge over it.

                              Driving up the canon, I stopped here because although the car driver was doing the speed limit (20 mph) it was just too slow for me especially through the turns (he kept slowing down to 10 or 15).



                              Now this road has a couple of 90 degree turns, some 180 degrees, and a few that you feel like you can touch the rocks with your handlebars. But after coming into here,



                              You get to see this - a bridge over the falls. Sorry for the quality of the picture. I guess I might have to start carrying my real camera instead of my phone.

                                Sorry, but there's no water in your waterfall. Looks like a bunch of rocks. Dry rocks.
