I didn't really work out in terms of kid avoidance but I had a good time and saw some wild critters http://www.dennygibson.com/aslhayes/day03/ F40F21BD-2C43-4549-B9D6-A215A4EB5024 Mon, 13 May 2013 22:27:28 -0400 Beautiful Ohio was just one of the songs Cece Otto performed Sunday at the historic Hayesville Opera House. http://www.dennygibson.com/aslhayes/day02/ 79374175-C468-40FC-8187-2D388280C633 Mon, 13 May 2013 07:16:15 -0400 Friends, relatives, music, and two classic meals on the way to American Songline in Hayesville.. http://www.dennygibson.com/aslhayes/ 1875EF0A-1D7F-4C44-8834-F4F3E2C2EFB2 Sun, 12 May 2013 10:06:29 -0400 Having a bunch of people celebrate your 191st birthday is a pretty good sign that you did something right. Today was all Grant until I headed home in the afternoon. http://www.dennygibson.com/olhl2013/day04/ FF18AC6E-5EE2-4345-9BDD-0C829B4BB085 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:07:02 -0400 I hurried to Columbus then leisurely followed US-62 to near Georgetown, Ohio. The day ended with a roast of Ulysses S. Grant. http://www.dennygibson.com/olhl2013/day03/ 008FC6DC-3416-4DB2-9975-22271A068AA9 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 18:03:16 -0400 With just a 60 mile drive for the day it took some effort to while away the time but I managed. A little two lane, a carrousel, and some pie did the job. http://www.dennygibson.com/olhl2013/day02/ 8CE04AB8-6219-40C8-ADC0-D53FFCA37BF4 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:42:50 -0400 It didn’t start off exactly as planned but it did start and I’m on my way to the 2013 Ohio Lincoln Highway League meeting in Mifflin. http://www.dennygibson.com/olhl2013/ 202CE6F0-9BE7-4499-BBD0-A3BFD8659ADB Thu, 25 Apr 2013 07:46:23 -0400 I had no plans beyond breakfast but, after verifying that the downtown war museums were open, I paid them a visit then met a friend who guided me to some sights along the canal. The ride home was uneventful. http://www.dennygibson.com/folk/day04/ C8E4D41F-274F-4D98-80A4-5EA4AC275B32 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:48:13 -0400 I increased my driven portion of the Dixie Highway by nearly a hundred and fifty miles and survived the pre-wee hours of Indianapolis night life. http://www.dennygibson.com/folk/day03/ DB4EE52A-DCBB-40FD-A7E3-7757564FF8BB Sun, 21 Apr 2013 21:46:13 -0400 The day started with breakfast at the Loveless Cafe and ended with music at the Family Wash. A museum and two movies filled in the middle. http://www.dennygibson.com/folk/day02/ 1734391F-5964-4F3F-BD3C-9F61753B53BC Sat, 20 Apr 2013 09:37:52 -0400 Gravy for breakfast, ice cream for lunch, pasta for dinner, and Nashville's Broadway for a soundtrack. The first day of this trip has been posted. http://www.dennygibson.com/folk/ D6D1A1AF-1FB7-4E05-A6AD-331403C3D5AF Fri, 19 Apr 2013 08:27:20 -0400 I've just set dates for three new trips. Added to the long scheduled Lincoln Highway trip, that makes a record setting four trips on the schedule. First up is a trip to Nashville for the April 19 premier of a movie featuring Dirk Hamilton and two other musicians. The journal for that trip will be here: http://www.dennygibson.com/folk/ About a week later, I'll head a short distance north for the annual Ohio Lincoln Highway League meeting on April 25. That journal will appear here: http://www.dennygibson.com/olhl2013/ In May, I'll drive back to northern Ohio to attend one of Cece Otto's Lincoln Highway focused "American Songline" concerts with a journal here: http://www.dennygibson.com/aslhayes/ Then, in June, the long awaited Lincoln Highway Association centennial tour gets under way from New York City. http://www.dennygibson.com/lhcc2013/ Spring is here and the dry stretch -- trip wise -- will soon be over. http://www.dennygibson.com/ 2680A23F-54D1-4E11-9008-FF13BDB00A92 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:06:16 -0400 I recently learned of what I consider a very worthwhile project from friend and musician Josh Hisle. I mentioned it at the tail end of my weekly blog post this morning and am now using my other "outputs" to spread the word a little farther. This feed has not been used for this sort of thing in the past and I don't expect it to be used this way in the future. But I do really think this Common Ground on the Hill project is worthwhile and hope you'll take a look at the video, mention it to your friends, and chip in a few bucks if you can. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/common-ground-veterans-initiative-scholarship-fund 099E13AD-81D7-40AB-9919-7FE156DF25C7 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 08:14:05 -0500 I crossed the Kanawha River four times on three bridges and the Ohio River once. I stopped by to see Mothman then took a look at Bob's farm and a snow covered Mound City. http://www.dennygibson.com/cer2012/day12/ 3C98747B-6CDC-482D-8240-3310CA92627A Thu, 3 Jan 2013 07:22:57 -0500 I went 0 for 2 at the Snappy Lunch and 0 for 1 at the Big Walker Lookout but found a really old coffee pot and a really big pencil. http://www.dennygibson.com/cer2012/day11/ 8403D00D-9135-4CF2-91D7-002E33FEE3C4 Wed, 2 Jan 2013 08:47:32 -0500 New Year's Eve in Raleigh, North Carolina, and I got to see the big acorn drop. I also heard some good music, ate some good food, watched bunches of flashing lights, and toasted the GMT start of 2013. http://www.dennygibson.com/cer2012/day10/ 3392E090-AD67-4407-AD91-B99A62695C00 Tue, 1 Jan 2013 09:24:14 -0500 First Columbia then Raleigh. Those Carolina capitals are everywhere. I found a three screen drive-in, Dizzy's hometown, and some tasty BBQ. http://www.dennygibson.com/cer2012/day09/ 73089FE0-8809-42AB-A062-60967929CECD Mon, 31 Dec 2012 12:45:09 -0500 I finished up the Georgia Connector then headed to Augusta. One of two attempted museum visits was successful plus I downed a 'burger basket at a drive-in. http://www.dennygibson.com/cer2012/day08/ 7EAD42DB-CFB1-4C43-A44E-D183CDC98108 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 08:23:21 -0500 I left Atlanta on the Dixie Highway Georgia Connector and definitely drove most of the old alignment to Milledgeville. I skipped the bit underwater, however, and am not even sure I found it. http://www.dennygibson.com/cer2012/day07/ A419ACBC-98BB-4C71-A775-08662800888A Sat, 29 Dec 2012 06:27:06 -0500 I spent a good portion of the day at The World of Coca-Cola then strolled around Olympic Park. Dinner was at a cafe diner. http://www.dennygibson.com/cer2012/day06/ 2231AD5A-2E64-4D10-8FE5-FC7BAD5BE5A7 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 07:29:38 -0500
