We arrived in Circleville, Ohio on Friday Morning. It was so good to see my Mom and Pop! We hadn't been down since Thanksgiving for one reason or another. So we had alot to catch up on. We mostly sat and talked, and of course we got out the pics of our New Baby! I'm talking about our new Cedar Creek Silverback Fifth Wheel Trailer! They were impressed with our choice and liked the layout of what we could show them in our brochure that we had from our dealer. We are going to take it down and show them after we pick it up in March. Will be our first time pulling it, so a short hour and a half trip would be a good start. We'll have to park at my brother's house, because my parents driveway is pretty steep because they live on a hill.
In fact they have a registered Indian mound, behind their house. When I get some time I will add a picture of their Indian mound on here. It doesn't have Indians buried in it though! It was used as a signal mound, by the Adena Indians to signal another mound about five miles away. Several local Indians from Columbus, Ohio came down and performed a blessing on the Indian Mound, and presented them with a certificate that stated that the Indian mound was used for a signal mound and no sacred ground was disturbed. It's a short, and steep climb up to the top and you can see for miles up there! At the top there is a plaque installed that proves it is original to the property. It is not uncommon in the spring and early may to see a bus load of school children pull up and walk to the top. The Adena Indian Drama Tecumseh is preformed at an outdoor theater just outside of Chillicothe, Ohio Which by the way was the first capital of the state of
Ohio. Well that's enough of a history lesson for today!
I know all of you out there in the warm south west are probably tired of hearing all of us mid-eastern states complaining about how cold and windy this winter has been, but it has been one of the most windy winters I can ever remember! I certainly won't mind not being here next January,February and March! Especially up on the hill where my Mom and Pop live. It really sounded like the wind was going to take the second story right off the house! We drove into the wind all the way home and it is still very windy here near Springfield, Ohio! Gusts up to 40 miles an hour are and have been the norm all weekend! This looks like a good place to stop, so I will!
