Settled in Chillicothe

We are all settled once again in a small campground just outside Chillicothe. It was a short trip today, just over a hundred easy miles. We really just back into our site, but it looks like we have been here forever. This is a seasonal site and the regular occupant is gone for the season, leaving flowers, lawn furniture, and a storage building for their return in the spring. There is a nice little pond at the edge of the campground and a lake across the street. I could just stay here. Oh wait, the snow will fly here soon. Maybe 3 or 4 days will be plenty long enough after all.

Chillicothe was the first capitol of Ohio. Folks liked it so well they made it the capitol twice. We haven’t been downtown yet, but from the highway it looks pretty nice. We’ll check it out in a day or two. We also want to visit the Hopewell Culture National Historic Park while we are in the area.

Isn’t the internet a wonderful thing. We were able to find a map for the Curp Cemetery. Now we have driving directions and will go there tomorrow if the rain holds off. The cemetery is in the county, but not in the community we thought it was, so finding it on the internet was a real blessing.
The leaves are past their prime
Here are a couple photos I made of our campsite and around the campground this afternoon.
