Although there wasn't a lot going on at the lake in the form of events, I still stayed pretty busy this weekend. One notable occurance from the weekend was the closing of the Captain's Point Pub on Saturday night. Due to some sort of liquor violation, the bar side of the restaraunt was forced to shut down on Saturday night. I have been unable to get a reliable quote as to the exact reasons why they were shut down, and do not know when they will re-open. I will let you know if and when they do.
I don't know if you are interested in covered bridges or not, but there are only so many of them left in the United States and I wanted to let everyone know about a fantastic specimin right here in Logan County! The 94 foot long bridge on CR 38 just north of St. Rt 366 is absolutely gorgeous and is one of the approximately 138 covered bridges remaining in the U.S. today (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/back0804.cfm). I encourage anyone who visits the lake to at least drive by the bridge while they are there if for nothing else than to simply experience something that is a huge part of American history before the bridge itself becomes just that, history.

I know you're in the business of rescuing people from the pubs, but I really enjoyed this post. Taking a drive to see the bridge (and that beautiful landscape of wild flowers) is my type of fun. Okay, maybe not fun, but enjoyment. I also enjoyed the article to which you linked, seeing those pictures and reading about the history and purposes of covered bridges.If I was at Indian Lake, I would especially appreciate your ideas and event notices. Even in Colorado I feel welcomed.
There is a great covered bridge here in Colorado too. It's really cool! http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM4YM9Post a Comment
