Okay, so we had been forewarned that as part of the redevelopment plan for the Atwood group camping area that many of the trees had been cut down. A part of us hoped though that the trees inside the circle including the three that shaded our site would still be there....
The truck just sat in the driveway today. We puttered around with a couple of tiny projects around the T@B, did some reading, some listening to Sirius, some walking around the campground, some making plans for tomorrow, and just generally enjoying a quiet day at home.
This morning we dismantled our soggy camp at Buckeye Lake, hitched up the T@B and moved on stopping for provisions at the Kroger in Hebron. We traveled some familiar highways until we were northeast of Canton eventually heading into territory we've not yet explored....
A couple things have heightened our interest recently in the 1936 Olympic Gold Medalist Jesse Owens. His 2011 statute at the track stadium named for him is featured in a couple episodes of Aerial America and his role in the 1936 Olympics is mentioned in The Boys...
Needing to replenish some energy expended by exploring Old North Columbus, the neighborhood of The Ohio State University, we stopped into Buckeye Donuts on High Street. It's a friendly indie eatery that's been here for forty-seven years. They were impressed that it...
Buckeye Lake here east of Columbus played an important role in the economic history of Ohio. It was created as a reservoir at the highest point of the Ohio and Erie Canal in the Nineteenth Century. In the Twentieth Century it's been a recreation area. There a few...
Here we are in Buckeye Lake KOA smack in the middle, sandwiched in between two big rigs (seven kids and three dogs) with the activities pavilion across one road and a party campsite across the other road. One benefit was we were only steps away from where they were...
It's the calm before the storm but Winton is relatively quiet right now. By evening it will be wild and crazy as the holiday weekend ramps up but by then we'll be out of here. We're pretty well packed up and ready to roll but sitting and enjoying the quiet as we...
It's been a beautiful evening at Winton Woods. Mild temperatures, clear skies, quiet neighbors. Best of all delightful guests. Gail, Lynne, and Brian all came out to the campground for a wonderful evening of conversation including reminiscing about Deck Days past as...
It's a day for some of the quintessential tastes of Cincinnati. This morning we shopped Kroger (a Cincinnati grocery chain) and got some Skyline Chili (a Cincinnati specialty) and some Glier's Goetta (Okay, it's true our Cincinnati born and bred mothers both always...

Thinking in a preventative maintenance state of mind, we thought it wise to replace the five year old original battery in Redford, our 2016 F-150. Yesterday we stopped by Harrison Auto Parts/NAPA in Sugarcreek because we had such a great experience when we needed to...
For folks like us who may rise early but eat breakfast later in the day, finding a place that serves breakfast all hours, like The Mill Restaurant inside the Dover, Ohio Buehler's Fresh Foods grocery store is fabulous. We opted for the Stuffed Omelet, a Fruit Cup, and...
As we met with Julie over lunch today and discussed plans for the upcoming üCamp21, hobnobbed with some of our long time nüCamp friends, and toured the nüCamp factory, we realized that it was exactly twelve years ago today in 2009 that we met Joe Mullet in the three...
