It's been raining, or posing a serious threat of same, so biking on this Indiana trip has been much less than expected. So, when plans don't quite turn out as planned, I go to Plan B, which includes wildlife refuges and/or history.
Fall color hasn't hit here yet in Brown County, Indiana, although some of the sassafras and dogwoods have shown some nice yellows and reds.
Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge was a nice option, although still quiet and awaiting its fall migrations. Only three other cars passed us along the car tour while we were there and they were filled with fishermen.
The Myers barn, shown here, has been rehabbed by volunteers, and is similar to area farms that were once scattered through the refuge's boundaries. As for wildlife, we saw a few deer, some great blue herons, and a few assorted songbirds. Generally, wildlife viewing was scarce compared to Lancaster's Middle Creek or Delaware's Prime Hook or Bombay Hook, but the trip was still worth the time.
