  • Air Head Ride

    We just completed the first of many to come Air Head Rides. Effectioning referred to as "The Great Sepulga Bridge Hunt". The Sepulga Bridge is located in Conecuh County and is one of the very few bidges listed in the Historic Bridges of the U.S Registry.



    We decided to try and find it as a goal for our first Air Head Ride in 2008. About 10 bikes left the Oasis Truck Stop in Robertsdale around 9 am 01/12/2008. About 7 of the bikes were Air Heads, and 3 curious folks just tagging along. As I suspected the GPS coordinates got us in the vincinity but did not put us at the bridge. Some riding around on dirt roads and some help from a local helped us find the bridge.

    Information has been forwarded to Bob Steber for the ABEES book. We found it on Bull Slough Rd. about half way between CR 43 and CR 21. GPS coordinates are N31 18.091 W86 43.036. It is in the country and we probably road 5 miles on "dirt" roads to find it. Haven't been able to figure out Pisca yet but have a couple of photos that I may forward later after I figure it out.

    Sounds like you had a fun trip to find the bridge.

    Thank you for your recomendation to add the historical bridge to our ABEES Travel Guide. I will add it today. I will also add it on the additions/deletions list. When the new Guide is printed, it will be there.

    I will also send you some information about adding photos via Picsca. It isn't difficult to do.

          I actually thought about heading down to meet you guys at the Oasis around 4AM Saturday morning but then I rolled back over. It sounds quite interesting and I can't wait to see the pictures!

            Folks, let me know if this works. Having trouble with the PISCA method so I'm trying a different one. These are pictures from our Air Head Ride.

                Way to go Tim!

                The photos look great and you made my day seeing those great looking airheads riding together. I'm looking forward to bringing Odalisque to the party soon. Also, thanks for entering your captions.

                    I recently updated the Pisca Web Album by adding several photos compliments of John Cockrell.
