    A few iphone shots of Adams Falls in Ricketts Glen State Park, best known for its gorge-ous waterfalls—more than 20 of which can be seen on a single loop trail.

    Welp, it appears that three unending days of rain is upon me, which will curtail most of the outdoor stuff I had planned today. Oh well, still a few good views to be had, even when it’s unnecessarily wet.

    Got #LostNeededDirections along the way. Had originally planned to stop at the venerable Straub, one of the oldest family-run breweries in the country, but it inexplicably closes at 2pm today. Sadly, that’s been par for the course on this road trip. 🏷️ 25.05C

    At the rapid pace I keep on some of these road trips, esp those that I’m planning on the fly, it’s just impossible to coherently post photos/updates. Every trip I assume that it’ll be different this time—for some unknown reason—and yet…same story. Anyway, I’m seeing lots of fun stuff! 🏷️ 25.05C

    I’ve been traveling pretty fast since landing in Columbus on Sat afternoon. But here’s what my accommodations have looked like so far. While I brought a tent, I’ve just been sleeping in the rental car—which has been quite handy, as I’ve been arriving at camp around midnight. 🏷️ 25.05C
