We went by the nursing home and spent time with mother and played Bingo. My brother was there also. We made it to Lake O' the Pines-Buckhorn Creek C.G. near Jefferson, Texas, at 8:30. Thank goodness I had vegetable soup already made and ready to heat. The lake here is very full from all the rain Texas has gotten. The frogs are very loud and hopping around on the road.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923166360149662718.post-52940522865820207242015-09-24T20:21:00.000-07:002020-04-23T11:28:03.122-07:006/9/15 - Little Rock, AR<span id="goog_1852195948"></span><span id="goog_1852195949"></span>After breakfast and showers, we walked around the campground and took some pictures since it was dark when we arrived last night. A rivet had come out of one side of the cook top cover and Jim replaced it. We looked over maps to determine where to go today and decided on Little Rock, Arkansas. We drove to a Passport America park that we stayed at in 2012. It is on the Arkansas River next to an old railroad bridge that was converted for pedestrians. It connects the riverwalk on both sides of the Arkansas River. We got set up and were thinking about walking to Lost Forty Brewery on the other side of the river near the Clinton Library. It was too hot, so we drove. After cooking dinner tonight we took an evening walk on the bridge to the library and came back. The bridge has lights that change color and reflect off the river. The river is very high here also due to the rain. Some of the gardens and walkways at the Clinton Library are still under water.<br />

today. It was a drive of only 132 miles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Along the way we stopped in Middleton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My great grandfather, great great grandfather and great great great
grandfather were born near Middleton in Hardemon County.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I stopped at a grocery store and the manager
made me some copies out of the phone book of the Sain families who live in that
area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I called one of them after we got
set up at camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is a 4<sup>th</sup>
cousin or 3<sup>rd</sup> cousin once removed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m not sure how you say it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
had a nice talk and he is going to send me some of the genealogy information he
has and when I get back I will send him what I have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was looking for a cemetery in the area where my grandfathers or
other kin would be buried.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We drove
around town after having some lunch and rented a movie from Red Box - “Draft
Day” with Kevin Costner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t have any TV or satellite reception
because there are too many trees in the campground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are lots of fireflies in the woods here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We used to catch them in jars when we were
kids and I haven’t seen this many in a long time.</span><br />

Battlefield.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This early battle in the Civil War was fought on April 6
& 7, 1862, between Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s Union Army and Gen. Albert
Sidney Johnston’s Confederate Army.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About 100,000 men fought and there were 23,476 casualties in
the two day battle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> There were more American casualties in this one battle than in all the wars prior to it. </span>We watched a really
informative 45 minute movie about Shiloh and went to two demonstrations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One was on musket firing and one was about
the importance of the drum corps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
drove around the park and stopped at several of the monuments and
buildings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We also saw</span> a few Indian
mounds on the bank of the Tennessee River.</span><br />

the Shiloh National Battlefield in Corinth, Mississippi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Corinth was in a vital location at the junction of two
railroad lines that supplied Confederate troops. What was left of the
Confederate troops after the battle of Shiloh retreated to Corinth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Union troops laid siege to the town and
the Confederates retreated after another bloody battle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the buildings in town were used as
makeshift hospitals. At the Visitors Center we watched a short movie and went through the exhibits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A lot of the slaves who escaped during the
battles congregated here with the Union troops and were put in a camp called
Contraband.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Contraband was a term commonly
used in the military during the war for escaped slaves. They were paid for the
work they did and they also had a small thriving community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teachers taught children and adults to read.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Escaped slaves also enlisted in the Union
army to form the United States Colored Troops.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is a driving tour and we drove by the contraband site and some
historic houses.</span><br />

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We slept in late this morning because we were
tired from all the driving yesterday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jim made breakfast sandwiches for us this morning using Hatch green
chili sausage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we went to the
visitor center and picked up information on the hikes in Big South Fork
National River and Recreation Area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was really too late to start a hike so we decided to drive to Obed Wild and Scenic River
National Area visitor center near Wartburg, TN. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On the way we stopped at historic Rugby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This town has a few building from the late
1800’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was an old general store
there that had homemade fried pies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We bought
peach and raspberry pies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The young
lady running it was 5<sup>th</sup> generation and her grandmother made the
fried pies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reminded me of the apricot
fried pies mother made years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">At the</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Obed Wild and Scenic River
National Area visitor center we</span> watched a short movie and
then drove to the campground and to the day use area where you can swim in the
Obed River.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank goodness we had asked the
Ranger if a trailer would be able to drive it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He told us no and we took the truck only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were considering going back to camp there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The road getting there was narrow, steep and
winding with lots of hairpin turns. The campground sites are very small and on
a one way road with trees up to the road and sites. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There
are lots of day lilies growing along the side of the roads here like the
bluebonnets in Texas.</span></span><br />

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Today we took a hike to Falls Branch
Overlook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We could either walk 7 miles
from the campground or drive 4 miles into the forest on a narrow gravel road
and then walk 1 mile. Guess which one we did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Along the trail was a grave of a baby whose parents owned land there at
one time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The flies were bad at the
trailhead so we put on our head nets over our hats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After returning to the Casita and having lunch we drove to the
East Rim overlook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we took our
chairs and chilled out in the river at the Leatherwood Ford Access.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water was clear and cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jim grilled sausage and I made sides and then the
thunder started.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We cleaned up, took
down the screen shelter and then went inside the Casita just before it started raining.</span><br />

Devils Jump Overlook and Blue Heron Overlook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then we drove down to the old coal mine at Blue Heron.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The office closes at 3 pm so we were the

Campground today to Cumberland Gap National Historic Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stopped at the visitor’s center that is
in Kentucky and watched a movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Cumberland Gap is a passageway through the Appalachian Mountains from the
eastern seaboard to the Ohio Valley. The trail was blazed by Daniel Boone and
was used by hundreds of thousands of settlers as they migrated west to settle
the country.</span><br />

the Wilderness Road Campground in the park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The campground is in Virginia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Within a 5 minute span we were in 3 states! After picking out a site and
setting up, we drove to the historic town of Cumberland Gap, TN.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our first stop was at the trailhead for
Daniel Boone trail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked a little
way on the trail to walk in Daniel Boone’s footsteps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we drove to another trailhead for a short walk to the Iron Furnace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was an old iron smelting furnace from
the 1800s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Behind it was a stream with
surprisingly cold water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then drove
the Pinnacle Road and walked to the Pinnacle Overlook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there you can see the peak where the
three states meet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, you can see
the Cumberland Gap trail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This drive
had a stop where you could see the remnants of a gun battery at the site of
Fort McCook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jim took a picture of me
standing with my left foot in Kentucky and my right foot in Virginia (only half
as many states as the Four Corners.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
did a little shopping and then returned to camp to relax.</span> </span></div>

at Kroger for a few items and then I had to go to the post office to mail some
letters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Then w</span>e headed off to
Lexington.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the way we came upon a
sign on the highway in Corbin, KY that pointed to Colonel Harlan Sanders Café
and Museum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Col. Sanders started his Kentucky
Fried Chicken empire here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a
KFC restaurant and a small museum which includes a reproduction of Col.
Sanders’ original restaurant and kitchen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had chicken for lunch and looked around the museum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jim found us a place to camp really close to Lexington at Kentucky Horse Park Campground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Kentucky Horse Park is a horse oriented theme park. Lexington, KY is in the middle of the Kentucky bluegrass country and is known as the horse capital of the world. There are beautiful horse farms all around with huge mansion houses. After unhooking the trailer we went into town and visited five breweries - Blue Stallion, Chase, West 6th, Country Boy and Ethereal..</span><br />

Park where the Reds play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The brewpub
is on the site of the old Riverfront Stadium and the site of the prior stadium's home plate
is just inside the door.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The old first base is
in the parking garage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next we went to
Taft’s Ale House.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is in a
beautifully refurbished 1850 St. Paul's Protestant Church and has a lot of decorations related to President Taft.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The last stop was Rhinegiest Brewing.</span><br />

didn’t need the air conditioner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
washed the Casita off before leaving this morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was looking pretty grungy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our plans were to drive to Chillicothe and get a site for the night,
drop the Casita and then go to the Hopewell Culture National Historic
Park, Mound City Complex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We came upon Hopewell Culture
Visitor’s center and decided to stop there instead of coming back to it. This
is the site of a 2,000 year old Indian mound complex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We watched a movie about the site and walked around the
mounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the beginning of World War I
the military chose this area to construct a training camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They completely obliterated half of the mounds
and earthworks and degraded the rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After touring the site and visiting the museum (which had many artifacts found in the mounds) we drove to Alum Creek
State Park just north of Columbus instead of staying in Chillicothe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the news they were reporting that there
might be a serial killer in the Chillicothe area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We chilled out for the night at camp with a fire made from wood
the previous campers left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
another cool night and we didn’t need to use the air conditioner.</span><br />

the way to our camp today we saw a sign for the Warren G. Harding home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took a detour into Marion, Ohio and went
by the house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It didn’t open until noon
and we were there at 10 am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since we
didn’t want to wait around until it opened, we took pictures and then
left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was Harding’s home for 30
years before he became president.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
used his front porch for campaigning – over 200,000 people visited him on this
porch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was elected by a landslide
but was only in office for two years before he died.</span><br />

across to Bass Island and the village of Put-in-Bay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After getting off the ferry we walked to a nearby
lighthouse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we walked to town. The

way we ate cherries and mulberries off of trees near the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone else took a bus, rented a golf cart

International Peace Memorial. This monument celebrates the great victory of the
U.S. Navy over the British navy in the bloody Battle of Lake Erie in the War of
1812.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During this battle Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry captured the entire British squadron and raised the famous
“DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP” flag onboard his ship the Niagara. After the battle he
wrote to his commander “We have met the enemy and they are ours”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This victory secured Lake Erie and the
northwest territory for the United States.</span></span><br />

the six officers who died in the battle on Lake Erie were originally buried.

being built.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Three officers were American and three were British.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

old Erie and Ohio<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>canal system called
the Towpath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mules used to pull the

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We went back into Cuyahoga Valley National
Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today we drove to Hunt Farm
visitor center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the government
bought the land from citizens, they preserved most of the buildings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The farms are still active and the produce
is sold in the area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stopped at
Szalay’s vegetable and fruit stand and bought some produce, including a quarter
of a watermelon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just down the road was
Everett Road covered bridge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked
across the bridge and then drove to Ledges Trailhead where we took a hike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a big covered picnic area that we
sat at and had lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank goodness it
was covered as it started to sprinkle while we were on the Ledges hike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ate the watermelon at lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After lunch we drove to Indigo Lake and
Beaver Marsh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While walking to Beaver
Marsh we saw the remnants of Lock 26.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As I was standing on top to get a picture of a water lily, I looked down
and saw the fat body of a snake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its
head and tail were under a ledge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
looked a lot like a Water Moccasin, but it was a Banded Water Snake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> There were a lot of beautiful flowers in this area. Later w</span>e drove to Medina and had a beer at Lager
Heads Smokehouse and Brew Pub.</span><br />

and it rained again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today we drove
into Canton and went to the First Ladies National Historic Site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just before the exit to First Ladies we saw
the exit sign for President McKinley’s library and tomb.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We drove by there first and it was
beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> President McKinley was assassinated in 1901. </span>The First Ladies National
Historic Site is in the house McKinley and his wife lived in for a few years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we drove to the Pro Football Hall of
Fame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Afterward we went to Canton
Brewing. The brewer just happened to brew for Karbach in Houston before
coming here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He knows some of the same
people we know.</span><br />
