We found it! We’re staying the two weekend nights at the KOA in Eureka CA. Started Saturday with brunch at The Hangar Cafe, a little hole in the wall at the municipal airport. Great corned beef hash! Then found a little barbershop and Steve got a haircut. Anyone remember Ray Stevens song about never let a stranger cut your hair? We succeeded in finding a geocache in town then tried but failed to get new sneakers for the two of us. Time to give up on in town stuff and head to the beaches.
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.
