Big hornet's nest I found on a road ride
Ditch full of spider webs
Ride to the former site of the Nashville Zoo, now deserted
Hole in the old zoo gate. The Nashville Zoo was just a few miles from Pleasant View when I was a kid. It moved to Nashville when the Nashville Zoo and Grassmere combined to form the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. It closed when I was in middle school and has been a popular break-in spot for teens since. They say it is quite spooky in there with all the abandoned, overgrown buildings.

Quick stop for an underpass wall ride on the road bike
Near Port Royal State Park
A muddy, flooded Red River at Port Royal State Park near Clarksville
I ride by Port Royal all the time, but rarely stop to take in the sights. The stone column sticking up out of the water catching debris is left from a covered bridge that was built here in 1904. The bridge was washed away in a big flood in the early 2000s. It made it about 100 years without being washed away, but since then I have seen the water that high again at least three times. Here is a picture of the bridge before it was washed away.
