Armstrong Air and Space Museum (October 13, 2021)

Great time and the first visit to the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Just a short hop from Grand Lake St. Mary, it was the home town of the first man to walk on the moon. There are a number of items there from Apollo 11, plus the Gemini 8 spacecraft he flew in, and the F5D Skylancer which he test flew. He tested a number of aircraft including the amazing X-15. A truly remarkable life and much of it is detailed at this very fine museum. Enjoyed my visit and looking forward to a return sometime in the future.  











 

Trip to Grand Lake St. Mary, and Indian Lake (October 13, 2021)

Great time exploring Ohio, went to Grand Lake St. Mary with my wife, and we saw some of the sights on this massive lake. Really interesting seeing the seagulls and the pelican type birds. As the sign notes, there is an type of mold in some of the water. One of the cities on the lake is Celina. We had a light lunch there, and that is the place where the church and the two government buildings were photographed. 

Last two photos were at Indian Lake. We did have a fine meal at The Tilton Hilton. If you ever get to the area, be sure to check it out. Again a beautiful and massive lake. We came back via some fine backroads. Course there was one other thing we did and that is covered in the next post.
