May 19, 2013: Day 10 – East Bound and Down
Above is today’s trip map created using my Trimble Outdoors Navigator iPhone app. Click the link above for a bigger map. Today was the final day of our journey, and so far it’s been a great one! After checking out of the motel, I opted for just coffee today. After having so many big breakfasts and a big dinner and dessert last night, I needed to give my stomach a rest. We continued into Erie on State Road 5, which was the Circle Lake route, and found a Dunkin’ Donuts in town. We made our way back to the scenic route and passed by this motel where we stayed several…

November 2008: Cincinnati, Ohio….the Neon Shangri-La
We’re planning for our next trip, a 4 day weekend to Georgia. We originally planned for Thanksgiving weekend, then Pat asked if I could go sooner (i.e., this weekend). No sooner did I arrange for Friday and Monday off work, when I received an e-mail from our friend, Denny Gibson, from Cincinnati.
