It's a little museum in Zanesville, Ohio with a big story to tell. Actually three big stories. This city of about twenty-five thousand people was founded in 1790s as a result of Ebenezer Zane's building of a road, Zane's Trace, connecting Wheeling WV and Maysville KY....
Today was a travel day but not too long a one. We lingered in Lebanon for a while. Gave a T@B-400 tour. Made some phone calls. Got on the road by noon. Made a couple of stops. At a rest area we found a geocache that had previously eluded us! We chose Spring Valley...
The search for the perfect shoe has yielded success! A pair of Ahnu Montara IIs have served Karen well for nearly two years of daily wear. They're waterproof but breathable, comfortable and stable. They look good enough for city streets and perform well on back...
It's just one of the Cincinnati treats we indulge in when the opportunity presents. Since our travels today took us into the neighborhood, we stopped and treated ourselves to some Graeter's Ice Cream at the historic Hyde Park Location. Toffee Chocolate Chip and Black...
Sunday Brunch with special people. Five of us gathered on the patio of The Brown Dog Cafe for a delectable meal and leisurely visit. The cafe is a part of the new Blue Ash community complex located on the site of the former Blue Ash airport. We checked out another...
When cousins suggested we meet st Maya's Indian Cuisine in Price Hill, we knew we were in for an adventure since neither of us is familiar with Indian fare. With a bit a guidance and only a tiny bit of trepidation, we chose Chicken Tikki Masala and Goat Saag...
Lebanon is an Ohio town that we'll readily admit we knew little about other than it's northeast of Cincinnati near I-71. After we arrived on Thursday we watched this Ohio Magazine video and decided that we must spend some time exploring the area. This morning we...
Just what we needed, when and where we needed it. The Skyline Chili Parlor on Delhi Pike not only promised a tasty and quick comfort food meal but delivered. With friendly service to boot. We love the Three Way Chili, spaghetti topped with a Mediterranean spiced meat...

It wasn't until yesterday that we knew what dates we wanted to be in the Cincinnati area. Of course by then Winton Woods and Miami Whitewater Forest were totally reserved for this July weekend. Instead we were able to get a site at the KOA Cincinnati NE for five...

Besides short travel days and longer stays, this trip is also remarkable in that we don’t have a destination. It’s about exploration especially of the small towns scattered across the country. And we’re finding a lot of city park campgrounds often located within easy...
When we first arrived at Arnold’s Campground RV Park in International Falls, Minnesota, we learned Amanda had arrived just minutes before us. Set up was minimal, just plug into shore power and put down stabilizers before setting up our chairs in the shade. Right away...
