Mt. Eaton weekend

We spent the last weekend in Mt. Eaton Ohio, visiting Bev. To Mt. Eaton is a 6.5 hour drive. Enroute Friday night we stayed in Morgantown WV, half way to Mt. Eaton, returning on Memorial Day.

First stop upon arrival was Lehman's Hardware. For all your non-electrical Amish needs. Then it was dinner, followed by the croquet tournament. We lost, we were playing against pros, who actually had a child in one hand, and the croquet mallet in the other.

Sunday we went to mass and checked out a few sites outside of town. We went to the Wilderness Center for a hike. It had a nice new interpretive center and several short hikes. We followed a trail that went around a pond with ducks, which we fed with corn, and a boardwalk that went over the lake where we fed the fish with cake cones.

This was folled by a trip to the birthplace of Rubbermaid, in Wooster. This included a trip the huge Everything Rubbermaid store.

Monday morning we watched the Memorial day parade pass through town. Lots of local participation, and the whole town went out to see it, all 264 people. Here is Bev's dad's 1935 Ford, it was neat to sit in. Then it was back on the road, this time along the northern route, through Pittsburgh (we went through twice by accident). Pittsburgh looked like a nice city. We did not see any mines or any indication of a steel industry, which I expected to see.



Good trip, good friends, and good weather.

They made me promise I would post this picture, against my will....
