Debbie had some ideas for exploring, wanted to visit some areas she had been in growing up. One of the places she wanted me to visit was The Hairless Hare Brewery. Very good stop in that the beer was excellent, had a very nice Pretzel with Beer Cheese, and the view was remarkable. Watched planes taking off from the Dayton Airport which is across the road. On top of that with my wife there, could not beat the company. It was a nice place to visit with some excellent people as well as the previously mentioned beer. I have no doubt we will be back in the very near future.
Wandered down the road where I came across this Civil War Monument. Interesting in that it was a Union monument, which figures as Ohio fought in the Union side on the Civil War. My family members during that time also fought in the Union Army so I thought this was very cool. From my days living in the states of Kentucky (which sent people to fight in both armies), North Carolina and Virginia the monuments there are of the Confederate side. Those monuments are under a lot of controversy due to what the Southern Army fought to preserve. The preservation of slavery was not a cause to build a nation on, but that is what they tried to do. Thankfully, they failed.
During the ride there was a lot of fall color, and some you can see to the right of the photo in the background. I will do better in an upcoming post with some more color. Found an interesting old cemetery along the way. The old gravestone is very interesting and was the building and of course what attracted me to to the cemetery...the cannon !
