Today went for a rather short ride to a local abandoned place: The Alvira Ammo Bunkers.

This is one that’s open to explore. Reminds me of the Medora Brick Pant in Southern Indiana.

.........

.....

What, no photos????

Haaa Haaa
But, Ah, you dont wanna see that.

Well, actaully......
I stayed long enough to let them look thru about 10 photo prints (5x7) I had made, some that they had commented on online, pier/beach/sunset/LocalScenes.
and I let them pick one. And I mounted on magnetic backing for them.

.................................................. ..................... I do regularly lock the wheel to the left, though. Always have. Did you ever figure out why yours got stuck? Maybe I'm pressing my luck using it......

Yep, I figure it got stuck in Park because I never used it before, and never used Lock before either. I had been hesitiant to use the Lock becuase have heard it it getting stuck. Then I used the Park once because I wanted to turn on the tail light, but I didnt know it also operates the Lock Mechanism.

SHort discussion:
"Lock" is push and turn key all the way one way. WHich operates a mechanical throw to lock handlebars.
"Park" is push and turn key all the way the other way. WHich turns on the tail light (powered my main fuse, not the tail light fuse), AND also operates the lock.

I freed it by by getting some lube on the throw from undeneath (after Rich82 showed me what to look for. Is Much harder to see on GK), and then essentailly pushing it back up from underneath while wiggling/turning the key. It wasnt the ignition key/lock that was stuck, it was the handle bar lock throw that was stuck.

Interesting

Is enclosed. Is abaondonded. Is round. Is domed.
ANy concern for it collapsing if made any sound?
Any open pits to fall into?

No open vent for light.
Ah, you point bike headlight into there?

Out on the bike all morning, and into the afternoon.
Was only mid 40s this morning, mid 60s in afternoon.

Out for morning coffee at coffee shop.

Went to a marschy place looking for blue herons or green herons or egrets or whatever........ nope.

Went elsewhere and walked down railroad tracks about half mile, out to a trestle/swingbridge over the river where get view of ship at the docks, to get ship pictures. (A lot easier then bird photos.)

Was expecting two ships to be there, but one had just left.
So rode out near the pier to wait for it.
Yep, thats my excitement these days. Got some shots of that ship going out the piers.

We nt for a ride out of town along the shoreline dunes.

And back into town, hey, well past lunch time.

Pronto Pups. Look at that - about no line, and parking space open right there. (most all summer long is half hour wait minimum). They will be open for an other month or so.


Then back out of town to home.

Later afternoon adventure was mowing the lawn... and dealing with a problem with the lawn mower.

Next few days are suppose to be warmer, more seasonable, mid 70s. Will need a further ride.
