Traffic on Vaugh Drive on the east end of Madison’s riverfront is being disrupted by work to replace the Madison-Milton bridge. We have rides that use this part of Vaughn Drive, including our two Canaan road rides. We recommend riding up the lane to the Riverboat Inn (you’ll see the sign just past Ferry Street), then crossing Baltimore Street on 1st Street and returning to Vaughn Drive via St. Michaels Avenue. Look at our route maps and it all makes sense. This involves the use of Riverboat Inn’s private lane, so please be courteous to any drivers or pedestrians you encounter. We like the Riverboat Inn and it’s our first choice for housing guests, whether business or family. It’s a fun, funky place with good rates and a great view of the Ohio River from the huge first-floor patio and second-floor veranda.

Friendship has been one of our favorite destinations for years. The Spring and Fall Shoots of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association are a lot of fun if you go on the right days. There’s a lot o’ shootin’ going on, but the vendor area is just as appealing. (Photo at right courtesy Ripley County Tourism.) The route given in our Friendship Review features lots of steep-but-scenic country roads, such as Benham Road shown below. The Spring 2012 Shoot will be held Saturday June 9 through Sunday June 17. Read the review to see why you should go, and when. Or make plans to visit Friendship another time.
