Enjoyed a great ride in North Carolina; good to be back though it was a hot and humid day. Photo here was taken in Salisbury, NC. Salisbury is a fun town to explore, and I did a little bit of walking there to see some of the sights. What I also love about that area is some of the best riding roads in the area can be found there. Salisbury has a long history; and goes back to Pre-Revolutionary War times. Course, much of the old buildings are being redeveloped, and these buildings have a number of new businesses in them. I liked this brick street in front of the store fronts and stopped here to get a photo of the area.
This is the old English Cemetery, which goes back to the days of the British. In fact, some of the troops of Cornwallis are buried in this cemetery. There are other cemeteries with Confederate troops and a big National Cemetery with some (estimated) 11,000 Union troops who died in a Confederate prison which was located in Salisbury, NC. There are many sights to see, and will be posting some more photos on my "Richmond and Me" blog (which deals with both North Carolina...as that is my home, and my current time working in Richmond, VA) and also some photos on my Photo Page (and a link to that can be found here also).
The Bald Eagles were taken at Dan Nicholas Park; which has a very nice zoo and some other interesting sights. Had a great ride, covering some 100 miles today. Bike ran perfectly after the work I had done on it, and I enjoyed a fantastic few hours exploring one of my favorite towns, and riding on the backroads to and from this very interesting city. It has been a while since I have been able to ride, this being the first visit home in a few weeks, and it was a remarkable day indeed. Always good to get back to ride the Vulcan on the roads of North Carolina...and this was a most wonderful day!
