June 25, 2014 - Granville, Ohio

Last night we discussed staying another night in North Bend in order to go back to the National Museum of the Air Force. I had originally wanted to go see the Serpent Mound, which is one of two animal effigies in Southern Ohio. The Serpent Mound is an ancient mound in the shape of a serpent which archaeologists believe is from prehistoric time. It is 1,348 ft long and it really can only be seen by the air. So then I noticed another such formation along our route that is called the Alligator Mound, also another prehistoric effigy, which is in the middle of a housing development. It is in the National Register of Historic Places. So on our was to Lazy River Campground, our next destination, George asked me, how far the National Museum of the Air Force was from our route, and it wasn't too faraway, so we went there first on the way, to finish the rest of what we missed on Monday. It took us about two hours to see the rest of the museum, and then we headed on our way. Stopped for diesel and arrived around 4:30 PM. As we were driving down Dry Creek Road, about 75' below on the right, I could look down the hill and see trailers and motorhomes parked in the woods. Then we saw a blue and white camping road sign, and there was a dirt drive way entering the road that we were on, at a severe angle, that we could not possibly turn on. It was also on a steep grade down too. So George kept driving, and then the road we were on dipped down a steep grade and at the bottom was a real Camp Ground sign and a wide paved driveway! Relief is! The campground looks nice! We will be here until Sunday. The campground has planned activities, is along a stream, has mature shade trees and wide open spaces for big rigs. We had a choice of 50 Amps or cable, so we chose 50 Amps. Plus we paid $15. for unlimited Wifi for a week, as it was cheaper then paying $5. a day. It allows access to their system for two devices, so George and I chose to use it with our iPads. For dinner we had leftovers. George took Abby for a walk after dinner while I stayed here planning what we would be seeing while we are in this location.
