O-H-I-O! Home of the Buckeyes and Michael's Family











Photos, From Top: Ohio State Line, Morton Road (Mom's family name and road that the farm was on), golf course that was originally the family farm, Michael and Uncle Mike in the Beech and Sugar Maple forest, and a family shot (taken earlier in the trip because Michael forgot to take a picture of everyone while in Ohio)
So after nearly a week I headed of to Ohio loaded with dairy products. My Uncle Mike actually came to pick me up as I was behind schedule to meet up with my cousin Tim at their house and I could carry a lot more dairy products in a car. So now I have been at my Uncle Mike and Aunt Stephanie's house for five or six days. My cousin Tim drove up from Georgia where he is stationed and hung out for three days. We hung out, walked around Miami University campus and ate a lot.
I went and saw a primary growth Beech and Sugar Maple forest yesterday and got to visit the area where my great great great maybe another great grand father and his family was from in Eaton, Ohio and we went to one of the original farms, which sadly is now a golf course. I am off on the bike again today after nearly two weeks of no riding. I think it might be a bit rough for a few days getting back in the swing but I am looking forward to continuing the adventure. I think I have around 1500 more miles to Maine.
