We’re in Fort Loramie, Ohio, for a few days. We got here barely in time for me to get in a quick 20-mile starter ride before sundown. This photo was taken at the farthest point on the ride, where a piece of road follows the Greenville treaty line.
The ride took me to four counties: Shelby, Auglaize, Mercer, and Darke. Not bad for such a short ride!
Fort Loramie is a good place to use as a base camp. It’s an old canal town. There are no B&Bs and no chain motels, but there is a Ma ‘n Pa type motel, the Dairy King Motel. To register we walked up to the same sidewalk window where we later got an ice cream. The room is clean, spacious, and inexpensive. $140 for four nights. Sometimes one can’t go camping around here for less than that.
Winds tomorrow are forecast to be from the northeast. Too bad I don’t have any destinations picked out to the southwest, say in Randolph County, Indiana. But I need to do more study before I’m ready to ride there again. So I’ll go to the southeast, to Champaign County.
