5-21-2017 Chillicothe, OH

Departure from McArthur, OH was around 7.30am. We wanted to try to beat the rain that was moving into Chillicothe. Nope, only 15 miles later, we donned our rain suits to continue on to the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. We arrived around 8.15, but the Ranger didn't open the doors until 8.30 or so. The Park doesn't consist of much, just many burial mounds left by the Hopewell people, dated from 200 BC to 400 AD. We walked much of the area while it was drizzling, before the Ranger opened the Visitor Center.

There was a small museum in the building, housing some flint arrow heads, bone tools and pottery. There was also many decorations made from hammered copper. Very interesting display.

 Excuse the quality, I took the pics with the I-phone, not wanting to get the Nikon out in the rain.

As we left the Park, Mother Nature decided we really needed a shower, so we headed for the closest harbor, a McDonalds right down the road. We ate a leisurely breakfast, I had the laptop out following the front line storms and planning the bestest/dryest route for Kentucky.

All went well, till just outside Louisville, when we got chased to the Economy Inn. We were tired, anyway, time for a break.

Total miles on the day,  264
