Turkey Run State Park hiking trail (foot traffic only) AKA Narrows Covered Bridge

During a recent bookcase reorganization I realized I had not read the latest and last book by Gavin Menzies, adventurer and researcher extraordinaire. (Gavin passed away 12-April-2020.) His career in the British Navy as submarine Lieutenant Commander offered opportunities to develop as a seasoned, savvy world explorer. He authored these three books in his retirement […]
coreysdigs.com Corey Lynn, investigative journalist, encourages the public to join her to find the truth. OPEN-SOURCE Information! I found Chapter 4 extraordinary. It very thoroughly explores Blockchain technology. I cannot begin to do justice by commenting on the reveals of who, what, when, where, why, how and how much. Then Chapter 5 masterfully relates a […]
The Card Catalog is also a book! Published by the The Library of Congress this book chronicles the challenges of library science over centuries specifically focusing on early American History. More than delightful memories of classic books, this short and sweet book pairs well with The Library, A Catalogue of Wonders (reviewed 5/15/2019).
In the last four years, I have read Revelations three times and unfortunately did not get much for my effort. Thankfully, this book came to my attention via youtube video interview. Download for $2.99. Great investment. Scripture is expertly paired with commentary chapter by chapter, enthusiastic personal messages and encouragement. To me are the illustrations […]
This is an amazing “behind the scenes” story, only recently declassified. The subject and situation are both very complex. I look forward to a film version (like the movies Hidden Figures and Green Book set in the 1960s). Personal Note: In 2008, I joined a reunion of Marines with my father-in-law who fought on IWO […]

I love covered bridges. I have only been across 1 in my life. I find them fascinating. Love this post.
Parke County has a couple of dozen. The crowds during the festival are huge. We like to check them out when the weather is nice and we don’t have to fight for a parking space.
Interesting. I never knew the purpose for covering a bridge.
