Visit to Indian Lake (June 27, 2022)

Made a trip with my wife up the road to Indian Lake, Ohio. Had read they had a bad algae problem, and indeed they do. Still fun to see the big lake. 

My wife and I split one of the huge hamburgers at the Tilton Hilton. That is a favorite restaurant of ours at Indian Lake and as always it was fantastic. After that headed back but made a couple of stops in New Carlisle, Ohio. One stop for ice cream, and one to explore a local car show there at a local bank. Was a fantastic day trip and a wonderful time.    

 

Dayton Day (June 18, 2022)

Spent a few hours in Dayton on a very fine Saturday. Had an appointment with my wife, and then afterwards we made a stop at Warped Wing Brewing for some refreshment. Always enjoy that place and have a fine time there. 

Went by Deeds Park to see the fountains, but due to the breeze which was blowing quite strong they did not run the fountains. They are really something to see and will add them to a future post. 

Looking forward to a return visit on two wheels or four. It is a fun city with a lot of things to see and do.   

 

Hot time in Indiana (June 12-17, 2022)

Spent five days around Rising Sun, Indiana. This helicopter in Aurora, Indiana is a new sight, was added since our last visit. Debbie and me had a wonderful time though with a heat index of over 100, it was damn hot! Spent a lot of time inside. Did see Top Gun Maverick for a second time one afternoon, really like that movie. 

Wandered some around Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and after the movie stopped at a new restaurant. Most of my walks were early in the morning, which is when I took the bottom photo. Had a great if toasty time in Rising Sun.     

 

Cincinnati, Ohio (May 31, 2022)

My wife and I made a day trip to Cincinnati. Went by the Hard Rock Casino downtown (good eats and a fun time there) but I also took a walk around Cincinnati for a short while. 

It is an interesting city with a lot of cool things to see and do. Course it is the home of the Reds, and while they were not in town, did go by the ballpark. Items at the Hard Rock Casino are authentic and cool to see. I also like a lot of the buildings to be found there. 

Had a great time there, as always! 

 

Memorial Day 2022 (May 30, 2022)

Took the photo at left yesterday, and decided to do the same on this Memorial Day. Took a walk first around the area, visiting some of the critters around the lake. Some of the baby geese are not so small anymore!

Rode out to the Air Force Museum, just wandering around the outside, and remembered those who gave the ultimate price for the rest of us. It is a price we can never repay.  

 

Niagara Falls (May 16-18, 2022)

Got out for a few days and my wife and I took a trip to Niagara Falls. Enjoyed the night light show there and wandering around the area. As it has been really hot in Central Ohio the cooler temperatures just a stones throw from Canada were very nice. We had a great time and saw some remarkable sights. Took some very interesting walks around the falls, this being our second visit in the past few years. 

Very friendly people there and they came from all over the world to see this amazing sight and one of the great natural wonders of the Earth. If you have never been, highly recommended.   

 

Nature around the Neighborhood (May 14, 2022)

It's a fun time of year here in Central Ohio, trees are blooming, as is life. Fun to see the geese out with their families, as always enjoy seeing the rabbits and on my porch a family of Robins are getting ever larger in their nest. 

The mother and father Robin are really working, as both feed them and its quite active outside of my door. This is the second year in a row they have put a nest there, and always enjoy that. I also had a Robin build a nest when I lived in Richmond, and that was also really cool. Nature is a beautiful thing and this is a great place to enjoy it.
