Lost in America

Wooo-8 for 9 on letterboxes today! And covered more than 200 miles.

I started the day backtracking a bit to visit Mountwood Park in West-By-God. Three different series of boxes planted by the same person (Safari Man) throughout the park. Great clues, great stamps-the guys a carving wizard. That was most of the morning and I was on the westward way around 11:30. I drove straight thru and was in kind of a groove so I missed the part where US 50 split off of the highway and I wound up taking Ohio 32 instead. By the time I noticed that the highway signs only had one number, I was far enough along that I didn't want to backtrack anymore. Too bad for me, too, because the part I skipped looked like it was the kind of skimpy highway that I was sort of looking for. Ah, well. We're going with the flow on this one. Besides I have 7 or eight more states to get through and I'm back on 50 now. I'm also in Indiana, I think. I haven't scoped out what's coming up but I gonna put letterboxing on hold and try to find some roadside attractions instead. I haven't seen a giant ball of twine or the worlds biggest/smallest anything yet.

Oh, and I've been wimping out on the camping part of this trip and have gone motels so far but that's gonna have to change or else the trip gets shortened. . .theoretically.

Fair seas and tailing winds so far-well not really but good weather is what I'm trying to say.

CYABY
