Murals New and Old

2017 New England, Ohio, Road Trip

East Fork State Park outside of Cincinnati was a great home for us for four nights. Close enough to meet up with some cousins, near a restaurant we love because they serve some great goetta, but quiet and peaceful. It’s been quite a while since we stayed at this park and this time we fell in love. To make it sweeter, if we join Passport America, we can get a significant discount on weeknight stays here and all Ohio state parks! Now we’re on the move again. First stop was Sugarcreek to drop something off and a quick visit with a couple of people. Along the way we decided not to head right away into Pennsylvania but rather linger a little on Ohio’s Lake Erie shore. Seen on our way were two intriguing murals. The first one in Williamsburg seems to be of modern vintage. The second in Fresno is a carefully preserved bit of roadside Americana! The joys of off interstate travel!
