In the Cold Countryside.


After an appointment in Woodstock yesterday, I decided to take a ride even though the temperature was below freezing. After all, the sun was shining and there was still pretty snow on the ground.

I turned onto Chapman Landing Road and drove less than a mile before turning around when the cleared pavement turned into a snowy, slippery surface. I went back, pausing to get a photo of the suspension bridge at Narrow Passage. I drove across the low-water bridge and turned left on the Valley Pike.



I stopped at a pull-off by the turkey statue near the Rockingham County Line. He deserved a picture! I also took photos of farm lanes and fences.

After that I had lunch and did a little shopping.
