To celebrate this auspicious birthday, Steve and company hiked up the creek that runs in front of our house. The two of us hiked up to a huge boulder that we opted not to clamber over. Dave however had a standard to live up to. He climbed all the way up to “the witch house” as Greg had done on Christmas Day. Another part of the celebration was feasting on the delicious banana cake baked by Rhonda who along with Riley was unable to come with Dave this weekend.
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.
