Along US-400 between Wichita and Dodge City just west of Mullinville, Kansas, our eyes popped. We’d stumbled upon the folk art of Mullinville native M.T.Liggett who passed away in August 2017. His bizarre art is celebrated in Atlas Obscura and Roadside America. Although the majority of his work is clustered here on the prairie, he gained such national fame that his obituary appeared in the New York Times and trustees were appointed to preserve his artwork for the future.
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.
