We left North Canton in the rain and arrived in Marietta, in southern Ohio in the rain. We got ourselves a room at the Lafayette Hotel on the scenic Ohio River. We enjoyed a visit with Steve’s cousin, Dick at the Marietta Brewing Co. making plans for future adventures together.
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.
Looks like you timed you visit perfectly. We are getting 3 to 4 inches of snow over the course of the day and tonight. It looks like Cullowhee is going to be nice and warm compared to NE Ohio.
Greatly enjoyed the visit. Safe travels.
