Life seen from a 3 speed...
I decided to ride my Phillips up to my parents' house this afternoon (only about 7 miles) and to take photos along the way. No shots of the town, but we'll start out in the "Indian trails" between town and the Culver Academies' campus:
Getting on campus, Jeffrey decides to take a breather by the lake:
But, the damn Yanks have decided to park their Howitzers on the shore. What boors!
Finally getting out of town, and on the open road:
Wave a friendly hello to the truck, contemplating another year of farm life:
Having coasted down a huge hill and over the train tracks, we salute a farewell to West End Hibbard, and another sunset:
Crossing the (aptly named) Yellow River. We don't want to get in THAT particular water...
A quick right turn shows us the rolling hills that are a signature of the rolling sand dunes that make up much of the region:
Finally done with the rollers, we're turning left at this intersection,
But not before snapping a shot of the rainbow (home of a particularly pissed off wee-man immigrant)

Another right takes us onto the road the 'rents live on:
Down the hill - can you spot the driveway?
And we're here!
Anyway, I just wanted to show you the fantabulous ride today - I certainly tried to take advantage of the awesome weather!
