Wednesday's Trip Part Two

This old church was on a county road between Bay and Swiss....would have liked to have gotten out and walked around, but there was questionable people living next to it...including  a Rotweiller sp? on the loose!
Built just after the Civil War
Private lake at Swiss that Richard helped do some surveying on..Pretty reflection in the water...
Had lunch in Swiss at this local diner. There was the required table full of local men discussing all sorts of farming stuff...
We went to this place, which was across the highway from the diner...
Weather vane.....they also had some yard ornament type pigs around and a neat little log building out by the road, but I didn't get pictures of that...
This picture is for Tyler, who likes trains....railroad bridge at Gasconade...
Also at Gasconade....and the access..
Of course someone decided to put bullet holes in it..
Interesting place....looked up on I think DNR's website and read about this...built in the late 1800's..housing units, etc. Wish I could have walked around them!
Wow! I think this guy means it! ha! He had stuff written on all sides! 
Neat old bulding
In Chamois
Old river cabins near Westphalia...along the Maries River.
It was a pleasant day and we covered a lot of territory...actually ended up over on 133 near Meta!
