We had wanted to spend more time in southwestern Colorado in this area with so much Ancestral Puebloan history but the weather forecast was for snow. We decided to head for Santa Fe sooner than planned. We headed south to Shiprock then across northern New Mexico enjoying the scenery all the way. After a dinner at Brumby’s with Bill, we settled in for an evening of election returns on a night when the U.S. voters made history.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
I have seen ship rock from the air and always wondered where it was. Never wondered about it when I was near a computer however,
