4/26/2015 0 Comments TRECYCLE Day 7 - Sat. April 25My wife Michele met me on Friday afternoon and we stayed the evening at the historic Inn at Brandywine Falls Bed & Breakfast. This morning we hiked to the falls, not 200 yards from the Inn. After a scrumptious breakfast of fruit, eggs and oatmeal at the Inn prepared by Katie & George and the staff it was then on to the Cleveland Metroparks planting site where we met Valerie Carter-Stone and her daughter Ellie to see the trees planted earlier in the week along the Route 480 overpass. Valerie is a Natural Resources Manager for the Cleveland Metroparks and oversaw the planting at this site. I met more people on the trail on this Saturday in just a couple hours of riding than I had met in the 5 previous week days. The Ohio to Erie towpath trail is very popular on weekends. I encountered at least 4 different boy scout groups. Riding into Cleveland was interesting without a clearly marked path to Edgewater Park. Just a couple blocks off the route I swung by the house from the Christmas Story Movie complete with the leg lamp in the window. I did the ceremonial tire dipping in Lake Erie with Michele ready to haul me back to Dayton. I regret not being able to save gas and ride back to Dayton, but on the other hand I am satisfied with that amount of riding in one week.
