Now for the big day in Chillicothe.  The Gazette did a very nice write up of the show with pictures at: http://www.chillicothegazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080705/NEWS01/807050302&s=d&page=1#pluckcomments   I’ve done Chillicothe’s show for 3 years.  It’s rained all 3 years.   Having some of the racks already built helped a LOT!  I was up at 7:00 a.m. for the drive down.  The guys had a head start and Mom and I showed up a bit later.&n...

Liz and I checked out of the shady hotel and headed for Ohio.  Liz was really realived to get the hell out of West Vriginia.  We stayed on 50 all the way through Ohio.  The ride was pretty boring, not very much to see.  We stopped halfway through Ohio in Chillicothe to see the Mound City.  It was a pretty awsome sight.  The weather couldn't have been nicer for walking around the park.  The museum was pretty small but gave some good background. ...
