The institution of The Boy Scouts of America has been forever changed. Why must we erode away all that is harmless for coddling the sensitive few? @boyscoutsofamerica and @girlscoutsofamerica you have lost my support and Mike Surbaugh @mikesurbaugh you disappoint. There are BOY Scouts and GIRL Scouts but if you want to start a THIRD called “Scouts” then do it! But why change what has been great organizations up until now? #bsa #boyscouts #leaveitalone #smh (at Baltimore, Ohio)

And let the pumpkin carving begin! Let’s see what you’ve got for this year! #pumpkin #pumpkincarving #jackolantern #halloween (at Pickerington, Ohio)

This little all but forgotten church is nestled in the hills of Southern Ohio near Nelsonville. There’s a hitching post under that tree in the foreground. Such a peaceful setting. (at York Township, Athens County, Ohio)

I found this old hitching post near an old abandoned church house this morning. It’s sad to see this forgotten era ignored. #history #ohioexplored #lifeintheslowlane

I’ve been riding for 35 years and after countless miles of breathtaking scenery and spectacular experiences, I can’t wait to get back on the finest machinery for the trip, my @indianmotorcycle Chieftain to find the next adventure! #indianchieftain #roadtrip #adventure #openroad #indianmotorcycle #indianriders #indian #thunderstroke111 #ridecommand #throttleup #travel #twowheels #jimdian (at Huntington, West Virginia)

The moon lights up the campgrounds lake in an eerie way! Super warm October evening! Enjoy it, these won’t be around long! #moon #moonrise #nature #naturephotography #ohioexplored (at Happy Hills Campground & Cabin)

And now, after a few hundred miles on the bike, I’ll settle down at the campgrounds for a hog roast and some guitar playing! #playhard #ohio #luckyman #lovelife #stayyoung (at Happy Hills Campground & Cabin)

Wheels out for an early start in West Virginia. Head in back to Ohio via backroads! #indianriders #indianmotorcycle #roadtrip #harleydavidson (at Hampton Inn Huntington WV)

Uber like I have never seen! (at Hampton Inn Huntington WV)

Improvising for shade ona hot sunny day! #indianmotorcycle #harleydavidson #roadtrip (at Clay County, West Virginia)

Now the roads have taken us somewhere deep into West Virginia. WOW is it a beautiful day for riding! #indianmotorcycles #indianriders #wva (at West Virginia)

Taking backroads and found ourselves I#near Marietta. What’s next! Onward to WVa! #indianmotorcycles #harleydavidson #roadtrip (at West Virginia)

Roads are much drier today. Saddle up and set GPS for FUN! Heading South and East this morning. #indianmotorcycles #indianriders #toadtrip #ride #ohio #wva (at Ohio)

Gear is packed. Bike is loaded. Took vacation days...Weather has other plans. We need the rain. Just not today! Roads are very slick after a dry spell! But I’ve ridden a few thousand miles this year so all is good! Oh well, maybe I’ll get some indoor projects done today! #rainydays #indianmotorcycles #indianriders #safetyfirst #ridesafe (at Kokomo Lagoon)

Our Bigfoot is ready for Halloween and Jodi is too! But first is Jodi’s BIRTHDAY on 10/4 so wish her a happy one! She’s putting her best foot forward for a great year! #bigfoot #sasquatch #happybirthday #october #fall #ohio (at Kokomo Lagoon)

Do you think my computer has enough alerts that my wife’s birthday is tomorrow? I had better start shopping for a gift!
