here in Cincinnati.

Southern Ohio really is beautiful, and I've taken that drive east through Jackson to Gallipolis (stopped at the original Bob Evans Farm restaurant and met Bob himself once there - in Rio Grande (pronounced Ry-oh Grand.)

Am now looking at a trip east going through Marietta, which I believe was Ohio's first capital and modeled on a New England town.
So much to see, so little time.
