Ohio

The rolling hills of the Ohio Valley are a great place to view fall colors while at the same time visiting railroads. I'll post photos later today. The thing I remember most about yesterdays 400 miles plus day trip was the back drop of color with what appeared to be hundreds of Amish black carriages being pulled along two-lane roads. The horses all seemed to have the same brisk gate and the carriage occupants all looked related. Everyone in dark clothes, men with long beards and ladies with homespun dresses and bonnets. I couldn't help but fantasize about how I would fit in their community. I do have a beard.... Maybe I could teach them all to two-step? Maybe they could teach me simplicity?
