We made quite a bit of progress since we last posted our blog. Yes, we're actually heading back West.... Today, we've been on the road for exactly 18 months! Can you imagine that?
Eighteen months ago, when we decided to take Gertrude for a spin and see the mainland, we thought we'd wrap it up in one year. Hah! Here we are, eighteen months later, and we're still not quiet done yet. But... we are getting close. Five more states to go... YAY!
Where are we now, you ask? Actually, we just headed away from Cleveland, OH. Yes, the place where all the Trumpeteers are conventioning (is that even a word?). It's a scary thing, so after we visited the Cuyahoga Valley National Park which is south of Cleveland, we put Gertrude in gear, and headed westward on the Ohio Turnpike. Next stop, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
Why in such a hurry? Too many gun-toting people. Yes, Ohio has an open carry (firearms) policy and the world is not stable enough for us to hang around with all that fire power in our face. So, to the woods..., but first....

Niagara Falls - you will get wet!
Allow me to get you up to date about our meanderings. Where was I? Oh yes, the great state of New York. What is the world's greatest water fall? Yup, the Niagara Falls... but, did you know that there really is NO such water fall by that name? Hey, this is news to me too. The name Niagara was given by the Native Indians to the area where these falls were found. The name means the 'Thundering Waters'. Thus, the area and now the city where these falls can be found is called Niagara Falls. The actual falls, and there are 3 of them, are named: Horseshoe Falls (which we share with Canada), Bridal Veil Falls and American Falls ...... Now you know. |
