Burbin around photos

[Longhorn Man]

So I got up this morning, and asked myself... what are you going to do today, it's supposed to be perfect weather, and you have NO ONE needing you to do this or that for them.
Woah... a day to myself. Seems... out of place.
I could go out and finish the sterreo install on the burb... run speaker wires, install an amp, and install 4 speakers...
Or I could put dead bugs on the windshield.
Yep... the dead bugs won.
Or... did they, thay are after all, dead now.

Rolled by this large stone wall a few months ago, (south end of columbus, on south high stereet) and thought it'd be a great place for some photos...



Not as good as I had thought.


Then i headed down to a small town called Lockbourne (280 ppl). There used to be a canal going through there that connected Columbus to the Ohio River 100 miles south. This was in the early to mid 1800's when the rail road was not common. Very interesting history if you were to look into it.
These are taken at one of the locks that remains there today. In the stones used to build the locks, you can still see where the iron gates were swung thousands of times wearing grooves into the rock.




And I had to jump down into the lock for a pic. I don't know why I did... it's just the way I am wired.


In the town of Lockbourne, I saw this for sale. It CAN'T be from Ohio... it still has quarter panels. It looks like someone wanted it for the same reason i wanted it. The engine is gone. 68 caddy, 1200 bucks, no engine or tranny. If I'm not mistaken, a 68 would have the high compression 472.


I decide to put some freeway miles on it, and I head to Harmony ohio... just outside of Springfield. There's a place there that has been BEGGING for a burb photo. (this is my wall paper right now too)


An interesting attention getter just outside of that shop on the side of the freeway;


All in all, a great cruise. I killed $35 worth of dead dinasaurs, but that's ok... it was well worth it.
