State 32:
Welcome to the next post in my series highlighting states we have visited throughout the years. I hope you will enjoy coming along for the ride!
I will be featuring the states alphabetically. The next state in my series is
Ohio
Ohio became the 17th state on March 1, 1803. The capital is Columbus.
Before our RV days, we made two trips to Ohio to attend family weddings. The first time was to Dayton in 1980. The next time was a St. Patrick’s Day weekend trip to Cleveland. We left home with the sun shining and azaleas blooming. In Cleveland, we were freezing as we gazed at the ice on Lake Erie.
Our RV travels have taken us through Ohio a few times. We discovered Sun Valley RV Park in Chilicothe on one of those trips. This peaceful RV park is off the beaten path and a perfect overnight stop for weary travelers. We enjoyed it so much we returned a few years later when our route took us that way again.
On one trip our journey took us through the Amish country around Mt. Eaton. We discovered Evergreen RV Park, another gem of a park perfect for an overnight stop. I had read reviews of this park which raved about the cleanest and nicest RV park bath house they had ever seen. How could we pass that up? Even better still, there was an indoor pool onsite so after a swim I tried out the bath house and the reviews were right on the money!
We did a little shopping in an Amish store near the RV park. I stocked up on Amish goodies and I was a happy camper!

Ohio is another one of those states that I’ve breezed through on the highway. Your choice of RV parks are always noteworthy and beautiful. I always loved a water view. 🙂

Judy, it isn’t often we find such great RV parks for an overnight stay when we are traveling through to another destination. We lucked out on these two.

Great recap of your trip. Its hard to resist those Amish goodies isn’t it. The photos capture the peace of the area and its many facets.

Another interesting and helpful post! We may have to drive through Ohio sometime and these would be ideal stops. We’ve visited family in Ohio years ago-they’ve all since moved. So there’s really no place there on our “bucket” list. But we’ve decided we don’t want to just drive through another state without stopping to smell the roses on the way through!

When we first started RVing we sped through a few states that I wish we had stopped to explore a little more. There is beauty in every state. I posted about our second overnight stop in Chillicothe at https://wanderingdawgs.com/2013/05/22/day-6-crossing-the-appalachian-mountains/

Yes, there is beauty in every state! We’ve definitely decided to change up what we’re doing a bit to see as much as we can now. I’ll read your post as I’m sure there is something there for us, too! Thanks Beth!

It seems as if every time we are in Ohio, whichever way we are going, we are just eager to get through it. You are right that every state has wonderful things to offer and, perhaps, someday, we will linger a little bit in Ohio.
