Marietta, Ohio - April 25, 2011


Cabela's was...interesting. Cool outdoor stuff, but all the stuffed dead animals were fairly creepy. There was dead stuff from everywhere, displayed everywhere. Dead fish, dead ducklings, dead elephants, and a about 400 dead deer. A giant nature mausoleum. They had some live fish, too, big koi and freshwater game fish. As I said, ...interesting.


We walked around Harmar Village after dinner. The pedestrian bridge was in great shape. Huge flower baskets were suspended from the bridgework. I'll bet they're beautiful during the summer.


The train side is a picturesque ruin - rotted trestles with trees and weeds growing in the holes. Definitely a kid magnet. The water's deep enough that falling in wouldn't be a problem. Inadvisable the week we were there, though, since the Muskingum and Ohio were flooding.

It'll be nice to go back in the summer and take a paddle boat tour on the Ohio.
