On our second stop of the day, we were surprised to find the square, where the county courthouse sits, populated with people sitting in chairs and lining the streets. Have we, once again, happened upon a civic gathering? If you follow my blog posts you may remember the Morgan County Courthouse that was surrounded by chain link fence and go-cart racers and spectators of all ages. As I walked around the square, snapping pictures and looking for the corner stone (which, by the way, I was unable to locate) the crowd watched me. I felt a little conspicuous, but soldiered on. Walking the streets were men pushing coolers on wheels, filled with ice cream for sale. I wanted to photograph them but was too embarrassed to ask their permission. I think I need to get over that. When asked, a bystander informed us that they were gathering for the annual parade for the County 4H fair. We decided to head out for stop number three before streets were closed for the parade, so we mounted Black Betty only to be delayed by a long and slow moving train. As the temperatures rose, the perspiration built under our riding/safety gear. We were anxious to be on the road with the wind of movement cooling us once again.
