After breakfast today we were thwarted in our efforts to make a second cuppa. The stove wouldn’t light. Sure enough, we’re out of propane! Â A Google search and a phone call later and we added Lakes Gas Company in Hager City WI as an interim destination to our day’s plan. Our route took us through Red Wing MN, home of Red Wing Shoes, and across the Mississippi. Once at Lakes Gas we had our two propane tanks filled in a jiffy and were on our way south to Pepin.
  
  
  
  
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.
