As we drove through the arches on Scenic Highway 12 where Utah Governor Dern once proclaimed that he believed in fairies, we were admitted to the fairyland that today is Bryce Canyon National Park. It’s truly unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Yes, we can sense the shape of humans turned to stone by coyotes in the hoodoos. And we believe Ebenezer Bryce, who ranched here in the late 1800’s. It must surely be a “hell of a place to lose a cow”!
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.
