Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel is now on exhibit in Dayton. No need to travel to Italy!

They say timing is everything in life. I picked the right time to head out in the RV on a solo trip!
The Packard Museum in downtown Dayton, Ohio is a time capsule of fine automobiles from the first 50 years of the twentieth century.
At the top of Ohio sits Lake Erie. In the middle of Lake Erie is the US-Canada border. And right below the border lies a string of little islands. Welcome to Put-In-Bay!
Dayton is an Air Force town. There’s Wright-Patterson AFB here and the giant Dayton Air Force Museum.
A deep freeze has settled in from Texas to Maine. There’s no escaping it – it’s winter everywhere!
In midst of pandemics and protests we took a chance and escaped to Put-In-Bay on Lake Erie. The island has been closed down since winter and just opened up the week we got there.

Did you ever find a place that was so good you can’t wait to go back?
Well, I found it – the best kept secret in Ohio – Put In Bay!
In early October, the hottest week of the year was bearing down on our farm. Temperatures near 100 degrees were forecast and frankly, I just couldn’t take it anymore. So I pulled out a map and drew a line due north. My finger landed on Put In Bay, a tiny town on an island in Lake Erie.
Knowing nothing about the place, I packed up the RV and the dog and headed north, leaving poor Tim at home to deal with the cats and the oppressive heat.
Are you a Coastie? Ever heard of the radio show Coast to Coast? It’s on in the wee hours of the morning – 1:00 to 5:00 am – so you’re pretty much a night owl if you listen to George Noory’s broadcast. Or, like us, you can listen online at a more sensible time of day.
Coast to Coast fans tune in to hear the far-out alternative news. Want to learn how to read tarot cards, talk to angels, or build a time machine? Or maybe you’ve got a Bigfoot or UFO story you want to share? You can hear it all on Coast to Coast. Each night there’s a couple of experts who talk about their (wacky) fields. It’s mighty entertaining and some folks take it really seriously. George Noory is a pleasant radio host and hardly ever laughs at his guests, bless his heart. A couple times a year he puts on a live stage show, which is what brought us to Columbus, Ohio.
