Well there we go, everything I have suspected about america, took photos WHY, nice place ? you like the RUINS ? If I go to look at ruins, castles etc. I look up the history first.
The ruins are from this really big house that was popular I guess because of it's size, You ride a cool ( and amazing bike to us Brits ) but you have no idea why the ruins are important ? do you not have the ability to ASK & learn ?[/quote]
They aren't really important and they are not ancient ruins like a castle or something cooler. All these ruins are is a rich guys house that burnt down but its an odd site out here where I live because I'm out in the middle of nowhere. So it's kind of a cool site to visit but it doesn't have huge historical significance to it. It's just a place I've known since I was little that's not far from the house.

Hobgoblin is available in Kingston, Ontario, in a bar called the Rose and Crown, not a bad copy of a UK pub. It specialised in UK beers and foods.
That will be Ellrider standing in the corner.
