Last weekend, George and I went on a motorcycle ride to the Great Dismal Swamp. Although the swamp isn’t far from our house, it was quite the adventure. Prior to the trip, I had only rode on George’s bike at about 45 mph. I’m not afraid to admit that at 70 mph, I was holding on for dear life. George is terribly ticklish and he said I had to stop holding him in a death grip because he might die from laughter. I managed to get a few snapshots on the bike after I got my courage up.
The swamp has a man-made canal! Next time, I want to take my canoe down the canal.
We had a picnic and watched boats sail down the canal.
We made jokes about this guy’s “dingy” hanging out.
And on the way back home, I got up my nerve enough to take a couple of pictures from the bike.
What kind of adventures do you have planned this weekend?
love,

Thanks, Nonoy Manga!
I love swamps, I would not want to live in one for a long period but I do like to visit. I found that riding my cycle through swampy climates makes for a bug fest but that never bothered me enough not to visit on my cycle.
The bugs weren’t too bad, probably because I was on the back of the bike and my fiancee was blocking most of them!
