| I continued to roam the few streets. The bright red building and new roof deserved a couple of shots. I asked a couple of locals about the age of the buildings and they didn't know. I was getting a feeling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I headed down the 5 miles of sand and gravel to take a look at the river. I gave up after a mile or so. Returning into town I saw this homestead far off in the distance. My new camera at 10x zoom caught this picture. It looked vacant but the roof was good. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This house and the store are what originally interested me on the last trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I went into the store all smiles and how are ya friendly. The woman and gentlemen customer, the one in the pickup, were very stand-off-ish. I sensed a problem. I asked some questions and he mumbled in a low voice. She was not friendly. I don't think these people want visitors. I don't blame them. Enjoy these pictures and leave them alone. I'm not going back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I headed back up the hill with a real weird feeling. This was the first time I'd run into unfriendly, but then, I don't go in much. My bike is quiet and I'm certainly not threatening. Shy People, maybe? Did I hear banjos? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| All that aside, Fort Adams is historic. The links below display what I'm talking about. Fort Adams was on the Mississiippi River until a Yankee boat stayed and caused the river to bypass the town. I read that, I know. I don't know if it sank and caused the river to deposit or what? You can always tell when I'm getting tired of these things. I stop caring. That's happening right now if you didn't notice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A Great Explanation. Go to "Find" in "Edit" at the top of your browser (most) and put "Adams" into it and click. It will find the part about Ft.Adams on the page, magic. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| From HERE Fort Adams (1798 - 1810), Fort Adams A blockhouse surrounded by an earthwork battery. Situated on top of Blockhouse Hill, now only a pile of stone rubble on private property.
