RV travels around the USA
We had a great visit with family and friends in Indiana, but after a week it was time to move Eastward on our journey. Next up, was the very small town of Alton, Ohio, just west of Columbus, Ohio. We had the great fortune to visit with Pat’s good friend Becky and her family on their sprawling farm in the heartland of Ohio.
This was a very good relocation from Indianapolis to just the southwest side of Cincinnati, Ohio at just over 100 miles. Very nice! Our campground was the Indian Springs Campground in North Bend Ohio. It was a little tight between sites and getting into, but not bad for a short stay. This was a three night stay on the route back to Virginia for our annual doctor visits and to see family and friends. Continue reading “Cincinnati Oh; the Creation Museum & the Ark”
Our trip to Indiana from Medina Ohio required a halfway stop and we ended up staying there for 4 nights. The town of Springfield is just a few miles away from the campground and had a few things that we enjoyed seeing. The RV park had many activities going on, a swimming pool, shuffle board, horse shoes, etc. The only downside was our spot was near the entrance, so there was a steady stream of cars and golf carts parading by.

One last post from Put-In-Bay Ohio to capture a few picture that did not make the first cut. Today is a warm and breezy Labor Day as I get caught up on a few chores that were on my to do list and Trish is cooking up several freezer meals. Our current campground in Effingham, Illinois is Camp Lakewood right on the shore of Lake Pauline. Mondays are a huge checking out day at campgrounds as the weekend warriors leave, so we have gone from 100% full this morning to about 20% full now. Nice and quiet. I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and a pause to take a breath, relax, and focus on what really matters. Continue reading “Happy Labor Day 2017!”
This is our final part of the continuing series of our 2-week stay near Medina, Ohio. We visited with family and saw some very interesting places. These two places are about as diverse as you can get from several standpoints. A study in contrasting cultures. One a very basic 1700’s like environment and the other a resort with all the indulgences.

This post continues with our nearly 2-week stay in Ohio. We ventured into the big city of Cleveland a couple of times and were very impressed with the ability to get around and the many things to do. The downtown area mostly looked great and it was evident that the older building were well cared for and many thriving businesses were present.

We packed up from the Erie, PA area and drove about 4 hours to a small town south of Cleveland, Oh. The 150 mile drive was good except for the usual summer road construction underway. The drive from the interstate 271/71 around Cleveland was on a few small state or county roads, but they were all big-rig accessible. My Garmin RV GPS did not like the small roads as it kept trying to divert me to other routes, but I used the campground recommended roads after checking them on my trucker’s atlas.
