Governor Bebb Park

On one of our recent rides into Butler County we visited Governor Bebb Park, a small area tucked away in the farmland, way off the beaten path. It's one of those places that you have to know about in order to find it ... and we thought we knew where it was but got a little lost, took the long way around and finally found the entrance. It took so long to locate it that the sun was dropping low in the sky and we witnessed an incredible sunset as we drove into the park. It was one of those sunsets that changed second by second, and continued to grow brighter and more incredible - until the sun suddenly dropped low behind the trees, and it was over. WOW. It reminded me of a volcanic eruption. Our first glimpse of it was beyond a hill, off in the distance. I thought something had exploded, or caught fire. Then the show began - spectacular color spilling out from behind enormous clouds. Check it out:
And the Grand Finale ....
