Medical Care and Hospital Warnings

In all the years I've camped I've never had any problems with hospitals allowing me to park and spend the night while visiting family or friends who were sick, and that I had to travel out of town to see. When I need a place to park while traveling through strange cities I often look for a hospital or Wal-Mart because I know they're open 24/7, I can find food, wifi and a security guard if needed and because most welcome travelers. Hospital cafeterias, if you didn't know it, have the best and che… Continue

The Bridge Project - Cleveland, Ohio

Hey Gang, A quick email with some photos from two weekends ago of the Bridge Project. I want to thank Sharon for posting this event on the GoGo Board. This is an event everyone should see at least once. The Bridge Project is held on the lower level of the Detroit/Superior bridge in downtown Cleveland. This is where the old trolley cars use to run. I was so completely amazed at how much space is below ground. I never knew that Cleveland at one time had a subway, at least parts of it were undergro… Continue

As one season ends.....

Hey Gang, Ahhh yes.... the unmistakeable joy of being a Cleveland sports fan. While one highly successful season ends - another one is under way, in case you haven't guessed I am being facetious. Wednesday Walt had extra tickets to see the Indians play. Wonder why he had extra's? He won them at the Painesville Speedway raffle. I asked you sure it wasn't a booby prize? To make matters worse, he won two sets of tickets. Well I couldn't let Walt sit alone watching the pathetic tribe so I went along… Continue

Mansfield Reformatory - Church and Religion

Hey Gang, This segment is about religion and the churches in the reformatory, yes churches, it had two. The reformatory was grandly and elegantly built in the belief it would help sway the incarcerated back to the straight and narrow. In fact, religion was so important that a Chaplain was always on duty for counseling, not sure though if this continued up until the prison's closing. In the early years it was mostly Protestant so it had only one church. But as the years went by and the beliefs of… Continue

Freeway Walls

I was chatting with Pat, originator of this site of his encounter with the grooved payment and what a hazard it is. Grooved roads are a complete waste of money and very unsafe. Thinking of this it reminded me of another complete waste of money and failure - FREEWAY WALLS! Ughhhhh. Here's my opinion on that subject. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` As Rome burns the great walls of China go up! Please someone tell me who is responsible for this boondoggle of erecting those ugly wall… Continue

Scene Two Mansfield

Hey Gang, So everyone is wanting to know if we seen any ghosts. Should I jump ahead and tell you? I guess I should. Nope. OK I know its kind of anti-climatic now but the rest still makes good reading. Well you know what? In a way we did see a ghostly figure. Our tour guide gave us a very brief tour of the house just enough for us to understand the lay out. In the rooms she did take us she would give a short talk of what the room was used for and what went on in it. We went to the shower room whe… Continue

Mansfield Opening Scene

Hey Gang, After a wonderful stroll through the grounds of Kingwood enjoying Gods beauty and then a delightful supper in Block House park reminiscing we made our way to the Mansfield Reformatory. We got directions that were a bit wrong so asked someone else. I also asked this other person is there a store before the prison. He said look for Longview Ave.. We continued on our way and BAM! there was the reformatory. It was just an awesome eery sight. It sits alone and is so HUGE and GOTHIC looking… Continue

How was the Mansfield trip?

Hey Gang, How was the Mansfield trip? Thanks, glad you asked. I thought the mysterious ailment of the GoGo Bus was an omen of things to come, but it wasn't. We were suppose to take it but the charging system went haywire. The last time I drove the Bus about 3 weeks ago it ran like new. I noticed the interior lights wouldn't come on, I thought I left the radio playing. To make a long story short, both batteries were completely drained and the alternator is shot. This will be the third time the al… Continue

What are you doing this Labor Day?

Hey Gang, This Saturday my sister Cindi, Jeff M. and I will be in Mansfield, Ohio touring the Mansfield Reformatory. If I heard correctly we will be locked in from 7 pm to 5 am. It should be a thrill. Besides the historical significance and the obvious spookiness of being in a old run down prison the place is supposedly very haunted. We're allowed to bring any device we want, tape and video recorders and ghost hunting apparatuses of any kind. The best part is: You will be given a rules and re… Continue

Finally a story from Texas. The stranger in our hotel room

Hey Gang, Instead of writing a play by play of the Texas trip I think I will just pick random people and events as they come to me. Today I will start with the stranger we had stay in our motel room. The Dark Stranger Even though I was running extremely low on sleep, my habits of going to bed late kept me wide awake. While Jimmy snored and Walt unwound watching TV I went for a long walk. I was on a quest to find a late night milk shake or float that I failed to find earlier. We stayed at the Su… Continue

Thank you Frank. This is the one thing that we cannot understand. They "know" what is happening and they will not do what is right. We are truly speechless. God Bless you and Amy. Michelle
