Cool to see these Civil War era stone walls along the “road”

GOAT segment one


I was on the way to the start (blue dot, upper left corner.  The green squares are the off-line maps I downloaded on the way.  It starts in Ripley right at the Ohio river.  Then basically whenever you have the option, turn onto the less traveled road haha and wind you way Northeast to (eventually) Cleveland and Lake Erie.

The long and winding road

Just some of the cool roads and scenes on the GOAT :)

What is the GOAT? Great Ohio Adventure Trail

You can see where we’re headed here:


John and I are gonna hit the 1,000 miles this year in 100 miles chunks. Some single day trips. Some camping weekends along the way.  The green rectangles are the downloaded maps that give you an idea of the path the route follows.  “Coast” to “coast” of Ohio, hahahaha.

Goat part 1 here I go. 🐐

Nice yet creepy vibe on a beautiful afternoon

 

Wow! What a great, fresh jerky selection!

Julie wanted to experience Buc-ee’s…!

Her first reaction, “It’s as big as a Meijer!”  She’s not wrong!



Dinner with Andy and Julie at Nick’s

One of Julie’s dad’s old time favorite places to eat after a round of golf ❤️

My three fave pics from the latest moon mission

Having the three planet lined up in the bottom is icing on the cake! Mercury, Venus and Mars (lower right).
