Cincinnati, OH 5/18/14

Day 1 - Sunday, May 18, 2014
Goshen, IN to Cincinnati, OH

This was a travel day.  We finally had some nice weather in Goshen.  Between the gravel that they put down and the rain giving us a break, we were able to get out of the infield and onto the road headed to Cincinnati. 

Most of the driving for this leg of the trip was on U.S. Highways going south in eastern Indiana and then east into southern Ohio.  The rural Indiana countryside was very serene with farms large and small.

This is a caution sign that you will see only in Amish Country.  There is even a buggy to demonstrate what the sign is talking about.
 
 
When you see the Amish buggies on the highway, you notice that they are very well marked with lights and placards so that they are quite visible at night.  They even have license plates.

 
There were many small towns along the route that we took.  This is a clock tower in Berne, IN.
 
The town of Linn, IN was having a carnival as we drove through.


Another small town had a nice little memorial park.

After we entered Ohio, there were still farms.  Here is one with the quintessential red barns.
 
This water tower let you know it was in Eaton, Ohio and the diversity that is in the area.  You can also see some of the large farming equipment that is for sale here.
 
Here is a closer view of the water tower.
 
 
This is a scene from the town.
 
At a stop light in Cincinnati, we saw this small old street rod?

And across the street was this artwork that looked like a sailing ship mast.

Once we got to our campground, in Cincinnati, we dropped off the trailer without setting it up and hurried off to meet some of Earl's cousins for dinner.  We were late because the local highway driving and traffic from detours, surrounding constructions areas, took us much longer than we had expected.  Thankfully, they were patient and waited for us to arrive.  We really enjoyed getting updated on what they were doing.  It was great seeing everyone again.
