Summer ramblings

In just a few days, I will be leaving for North Carolina for my sister's wedding. I'm excited and have been stuck on the Bach aria I'm going to be singing (never mind that the part I keep humming is the oboe part, not the soprano part

Fascinating about Turkey Run. So many places have little scenic wonders that outsiders never hear about.

Never having had to navigate between these two places, I wonder how you get to North Carolina from Ipls. I follow the road on the map to Cincinnati all right, but after that it's a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

We've tried a couple of different routes, but the one that works best for us is to take I-70 to Dayton, pick up I-75 briefly, and then make a long diagonal towards West Virginia on US 35, which is 4-lane almost all the way. Then we pick up I-64 near Charleston and I-77 south to North Carolina.

West Virginia is the most scenic part, and I'm hoping it will stay that way and they won't tear down any more mountains to get at the coal inside.

I was half asleep when I replied earlier and my brain didn't even catch this Dark Ages internet reference. Brings back old memories of wasting time when I was supposed to be doing grunt work for a computer scientist. :)

Yes, that was a reference. Good catch. Only computer RPG I ever played, in fact.
