Since the last time we were in Walnut Creek, someone decided to build a covered bridge. It was obvious that it was designed by an architect and not an artist. I'm not an expert in these matters but very close to it. It looks chunky and short, because it's proportions were not thought out. Up close it is a good sized bridge, at some 60 feet in length and well built other than it has already settled in sway. Another oversight by an over confident Architect/engineer and a local school bus driver/builder.
Josiah was not overly impressed and kept asking "where's lunch?" In spite of having finished several waffles, sausages, cereal, a banana and about 14 glasses of juice, not 45 minutes before.
So we drove back to Sugar Creek, (they have the only McDonald's in the county) for 2 dollars we can silence him for another hour and a half.
Driving through Sugar Creek, you can't help but notice the large brick kilns. Belden brick has a number of plants in Sugar Creek, along Edelweiss Drive and Route 39. It would be fun to stop and get a tour sometime, but I'm probably the only person on this side of the planet who would find that intriguing. Heini's has a wine and cheese shop in Sugar Creek now, they had some good samples of cheese and jam's. The wine jam was quite good, I should have bought some in hindsight. Josiah started asking again, "where's lunch?" We headed back west on route 39 and up 77 to Bunker hill and its Swiss Chalet looking Heini's Cheese. It's a huge place with lots of samples. They're also starting a large expansion to the parking lot to the north, built into the side of a hill, with storage underneath. We bought cheese ends, Pepperoni and Chive and Baby Swiss. Then we crossed 77 to the east, Kaufman's bakery, which was new and improved, as was the Der Dutchman bakery we had checked out that morning. Everyone has expanded with seating areas for ice cream and cappuccino bar. Kaufman's had many bread samples, we bought some German Potato bread. It reminded us of Hawaiian bread in its sweetness.
We then headed over to the Ashery Country bulk food store. We had cinnamon pretzel samples and stocked up on spices and dried apple slices and butter toasted peanuts and honey wheat pretzels and Hostetler's old fashioned kettle corn and birch beer (a hybrid root beer). It's a favorite old haunt and has remodeled and enlarged for the better. It also has landscaping, benches, cobblestone patio pavers and triple the size parking lot with landscaping stone and plantings.
