Maryland and West Virginia (October 12-14, 2022)

Short road trip with my wife to Cumberland, Maryland (where I took the first three photos) and to Wheeling, WV (where I took the last three. Had a great time at both places, enjoying fantastic weather and beautiful fall color. We really like going to those places and especially during the fall. Nothing like the mountains this time of year. Really nice people except for the Trumpers who are as we all know fucking assholes. 

Still, despite those morons, it was nice to get out and explore the sights to see in those states! 

 

Mt. Pleasant, MIchigan (October 2-4, 2022)

A relaxing trip, stayed at Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Had a great time, as its a very nice place. I enjoyed checking out the local area, though to be honest its out in basically its own little area. Did enjoy seeing the Fall color starting to happen during the trip.

Got a kick out of the "windmills" in Michigan, there are many in Ohio, but a lot in Michigan. Neat way to generate power and contrary to the rantings of the former moron President...no noise pollution.

 

Festival of Flight in New Carlisle, Ohio (October 1, 2022)

Good start to the first day of October, Debbie and me went to New Carlisle, Ohio for the "Festival of Flight". Have been before, but still very cool to see airplanes rolling down the road, and also some great good food (brats and sauerkraut) as well as refreshing frosty cold beverages. 

Always a great time, just about the perfect small town festival. They look forward to this every year and frankly..so do we!   

 

Keith Urban Concert in Columbus, Ohio (September 23, 2022)

Debbie and me headed out on a beautiful Friday to Columbus, Ohio where we headed to see the Keith Urban concert. When we left Virginia as a newly married couple after the house sale, we saw Keith in Charlottesville, Virginia. That was a remarkable show. So remarkable that when we saw he was coming to Ohio we made the drive (a few years later now) to see him once again. 

As before a remarkable show, which we both greatly enjoyed. The man and his band were on fire, and it was two hours that seemed to pass much faster than that. If you ever get to see him, don't miss the opportunity    

 

Last Day of Summer 2022 (September 21, 2022)

Just a quick post, on what is the last day of Summer. Took a motorcycle ride this morning  which can be seen on my "Racing with the Wind" page. 

Took these two photos on a walk this morning. Bunny was in my yard, and the flying geese with friends in the water around them in the photo below. Will feel like Summer today with temperatures in the 90's but the first day of Fall will feel like it with highs in the 60's. That is pretty wild, and looking forward to Fall. Like the cooler temperatures and the events that are coming up in the next few weeks. As always, thank you for visiting my pages!

 

Views from Niagara Falls, NY (September 14-16, 2022)

One of our favorite places to visit, Niagara Falls is just magnificent and magical. In fact there are not enough adjectives to really describe it. A few photos here and there from around the area. Had a wonderful time and in fact in this and previous visits has never been anything else.

Did not visit during the height of the tourist season and that makes for an even better experience. We had a great visit and wonderful time. 

 

Cleveland Waterfront and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (September 13, 2022)

Very cool trip to Cleveland, part of a bigger journey. First stop was the house from the movie (and a favorite movie of mine) "A Christmas Story". Leg lamp is below. Went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, but visited some sights around Lake Erie as well. Final five photos were taken in the museum. 

Very interesting area to see. We have been through the city but never have stopped. Had a great time there, and very happy to have made the visit.
