  • Best Rest Stop in the USA?

    Well, aside from Buc-ees… At 133 miles into our latest move, we stopped at a rest stop in Ohio for the bathrooms and to feed the cats. Kate spoke to one of the maintenance staff that said that it is only about a year old. It is also manned 24/7. It is one of the…

  • Cuyahoga Valley National Park

    Cuyahoga Valley National Park, OH, July 2026 We planned to go to Cuyahoga Valley National Park to bike on the canal trail. (It is not pronounced the way it looks; the proper pronunciation is Kai-uh-how-guh.) The name is Native American for “Crooked River”. (John wonders if they call the leaders of our country Cuyopoliticans?) The…

  • Findley State Park Blue Trail

    Wellington, OH, July 2026 We got back from Lorain, Ohio and both decided on a nap since we stayed up late and got up early. Well for me, the nap didn’t happen. Too many interruptions like locking the trailer door and Mackie deciding to take a big dump that stunk up the bedroom. (The last…

  • Lorain Lighthouse Fireworks

    Lorain Lighthouse, OH, July 2026 You are thinking – fireworks, shmireworks. From our estimation, the lighthouse fireworks were not the best fireworks show we have seen. We have been to some places, such as Washington, D.C. and Disney World, that have truly spectacular fireworks shows. It was unique, and it is worth doing at least…

  • Lorain Lighthouse Tour

    Lorain Lighthouse, OH, July 2026 There were over 800 photos taken for this trip, but most of them were for the fireworks. We have pared it down to a little over 200 photos, and it will probably be pared down more. We will split this into the fireworks and everything else. This is the everything…

  • Manassas National Battlefield Park

    Manassas, VA, June 2026 It appears we forgot to post this, we were to busy to post this, or thought the postcard was enough. It was probably a combination of the first and second one. When we were at Fairfax Lake Park, we stopped by Bull Run State Park to see if it would work…

  • Cinderella Bridge on the Gorge Trail

    Mill Creek Metro Parks, OH, June 2026 We decided to start with the west gorge trail on the other side of the creek. From the mill, you walk east a short distance to find Lanterman’s Mill Covered Bridge. While not as fanciful as the Cinderella Bridge, it is a very nice and well maintained example…

  • Lanterman’s Mill

    Mill Creek Metro Park, OH, June 2026 Youngstown has the Mahoning (not Majong) River flowing through the middle of the town. Mill Creek winds northwards through the west side of town until it empties into the Mahoning River. Most of Mill Creek is either a Metro Park, Preserve, or Sanctuary. It also has several scenic…

  • Youngstown Steel Heritage Museum

    Youngstown, OH, June 2026 Kate looked up things to do in the area, and she found two places that looked interesting. One of them was Youngstown Steel Heritage Museum, and the other was the Lanternman’s Mill in Mill Creek Metro Parks. Both of these are in Youngstown, which is 45 minutes southeast of West Branch…

  • Thrive Together Farmers Market

    Ravenna, OH, June 2026 Currently, we are staying at West Branch State Park which is located by Ravenna, Ohio. My internet search indicated that the “Thrive Together Farmers Market” was every Tuesday from 3 to 6 pm. The farmers market is sponsored by the Portage County Health District and this was the 2nd year of…
