It’s Adrian, Texas, the geo-mathematical midpoint on the historic Route 66 trip from Chicago to LA. We got off the interstate to get gas and to find a geocache behind the Sunflower Station, whose owner inspired the character of Flo in Pixar’s Cars. Unfortunately the shop was closed but we did get to eat some Whiskey Choco Pecan Pie ala Mode at the Midpoint Cafe! 
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.
