On a Road Again

2017 New England, Ohio, Road Trip

After a three night sojourn in Geneva State Park we hit US-20 eastbound fighting with the Maps app regarding whether we should travel interstate or US highway on our way to Westfield NY. Along we way we made a couple of stops. First at Steve’s Auto Wash (no relation) to spiffy up our home and wheels.

Then in downtown Conneaut we popped into Mooney’s Bakery for some comfort food, a maple eclair, a cherry turnover, and a couple of chocolate chocolate cookies. Yum. Next door to the bakery we noticed the WWOW radio station so we tuned in. Just like the baked goods it was a trip back in time. We could have been listening to WLCY back in our high school/college days! It was lovely cruising with Lake Erie visible in the distance on our left and vineyards on either side. Then we arrived at the KOA and were delighted with the greetings and also by the opportunity to order hot food delivered to our campsite. Thanks for the hospitality, Nate! All this and a fun call from Linus and Greg this morning has lifted our spirits a bit.

    Mooney’s looks like a “dangerous” place! Wishing you safe travels!

    WLCY, I remember that. It disappeared and I never saw it vanish until after the fact.
