Dear Friends and Family....
We are so proud to be a part of our absolutely unique and awesome country! We are amazed daily at the wonderful sights and sounds of nature and people.....
We woke up on the 4th in Mount Vernon, Ohio at an absolutely adorable campground nestled in the rolling hills of Ohio. It was incredible that we even found it as it was off a main road about 3 miles back. As we rolled over hill after hill through a narrow farm country road I wondered if we were on the right road...and I thought if we were not, I didn't know how we were going to turn around to go back!! Finally we saw a sign (they are rare in this state) that said Rustic Knolls Campground. It was a farm at one time and where a pasture used to be are present day campsites. There was a fishing pond, and a swimming hole and a playground...and campers were sporting their American flags...what a sight.
The plan for the Fourth of July was to ride the Kokosing Trail, another of Ohio's beautiful trails.
And everyone was out...every age group was walking, jogging, cycling, roller blading and truly enjoying themselves....the most people I have ever seen on a trail. And the weather cooperated too until about 2 p.m. when it began to rain.
We are blessed to live in the greatest nation in the world! Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. Love, Helen and Stan

Kokosing trail is beautiful, I would have liked to ride my bike there. I love all the trees. There are places in Oregon that are beautiful like that.Also, for some reason, it made me think of us on Kauai, when we would get up in the morning and walk down to the Mesa and then walk the ridge to the tide pools. We need to do that again. then go for a swim and read a book. Glad you had a nice 4th. We may have found a house today that could become a home. It is only a few blocks away. Keep us in your prayers. dah
Stan and Helen - And we are so blessed to have you two for inspiration! Our summer has been exciting as well. We have been to Vermont, New Hampshire and Boston. The sights in our great nation are truly awesome. The kids enjoyed seeing another view of our great country. Your postings and pictures look wonderful. You are in our hearts.
Love,
Bill & Lisa
