July 16, 2013 Waynesville, Ohio

Today brought us to the Frontier Campground in Waynesville, Ohio.  This was a convenient stop on our way to Michigan.  We discovered a wonderful bike trail right near the campground.  We spent a morning riding on the shady, level trail, enjoying the quiet and peaceful countryside.  We passed through a quaint little village before deciding that a 10 mile ride was probably enough since the weather was quite warm.

We spent the afternoon at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.  We were curious about the museum because we had enjoyed the Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.  This museum did not disappoint, and we spent several hours in the museum walking through exhibits that took us from the Wright Brothers to the current fighter jets and weapons of mass destruction.  We were disappointed that the sections with Presidential airplanes and Research and Development were closed to the public because of budget cuts due to sequestration.

Before heading back to the campground we stopped by the Wright Brothers memorial in Dayton and picked up some geocaches.  The memorial was very nice, but not as impressive as the memorial and visitors center in Kitty Hawk, NC.

We enjoyed our brief time in Ohio and were looking forward to our arrival in Michigan.
