RV/MH Hall of Fame, Elkhart, Indiana

We visited the RV/MH Hall of Fame again since we are lifetime members and wanted to see if there was anything new there. The last time we were there was in 2019 when we came through this area on our way back to Texas. I took a whole lot more pictures on that trip. If you click on the link, it will take you to my blog post in 2019.

Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, Dearborn, Michigan

We enjoy watching Mo Rocca and Innovation Nation, and this program is what prompted me to want to visit the Henry Ford Museum. Since we were heading to Ohio, Indiana and Michigan this summer, we made a short side trip to Dearborn to visit The Henry Ford.  Unfortunately, we only had time to tour one place, even though Greenfield Village and the Ford Factory would have been something to do.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio

While we were staying in Medina, Ohio visiting friends and family, we went to visit Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which is located south of Cleveland, starting in Bedford and going south near Akron. Jim and I both grew up in the Cleveland area and I and my girlfriend Karen would ride our bikes from Maple Heights to Bedford Reservation and explore Tinkers Creek Gorge.

Chateau Laroche, Loveland, Ohio

Chateau Laroche was built as an expression and reminder of the simple strength and rugged grandeur of the mighty men who lived when Knighthood was in flower. It was their knightly zeal for honor, valor and manly purity that lifted mankind out of the moral mid-night of the dark ages, and started it towards a gray dawn of human hope. The name of the Castle is "Chateau Laroche." Because so many castles of this type are located in Normandy and England, built about the time of William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings in 1066, the name is in French. The goal "jail" contains a "nest" for "bad eggs."
