On Sunday, June 23rd, we mounted Black Betty's bigger and softer seat (I call it the fat butt seat) and set out for a short pleasurable ride. Since it was just a small ride I didn't bother to pack the Canon Rebel T-3. When I found our first stop to be right in front of the Steuben County Court House I mentally kicked myself (not as painful OR awkward as physically doing it). With the Street Glide parked right in front of a court house I had no choice but to shoot a few shots with my phone's camera. I can certainly see a difference in the quality of the photos, I hope you can too. After leaving the town square we rode around the lakes where we saw lots of people out enjoying the water and the sun. Steuben Lake Country seems to be a fun place to visit and we plan to return soon.
The Street Glide sits in front of the Steuben County Court House located in Angola, Indiana. Taken with my phone's camera, this plaque is not legible. It states that the Steuben County Court House was built in 1867 of materials native to Steuben County. Waiting patiently on this pleasant day in downtown Angola. This Civil War memorial is in the center of a round-about. The buildings of downtown Angola form a square around the round-about, with the court house located on the south side of the square. This is not the first court house we have seen with daffodils. The square was decorated with American flags. Baron von Steuben was a Prussian-born military officer who served as inspector general and Major General of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. (Thank you Google!) This building is also on the square in Angola and is located just to the east of the court house. Masonic Lodge 236 is an active lodge, with "lodge" referring to the group rather than the building. I also learned on Wikipedia that these masonic buildings are considered landmarks, however, this one is not listed in the registry. Sylvester approves of the new "fat butt" seat. Below is a photo of the stock seat without the backrest and luggage rack.

AuthorHi! My name is Mary. My husband Curtis and I live in Huntertown Indiana. We have a 2009 Harley Davidson Street Glide. My hobby is photography and we thought it would be fun to travel around Indiana and photograph all of the 92 court houses located in the 92 counties of Indiana. Let the adventure begin!
