One last ride. . . I hope

Well, off we were again. One last train ride for John this year. We have gone to Nelsonville/Logan area several times, but we have always been there in the winter when the train didn't run. So. . . I made plans to go while John was off this week. The ride was over 2 hours long and put him to sleep most of the time, but it was soothing, to say the least.

While in Nelsonville we had to go to the Rocky Boot Outlet, of course. Then to Sonic for lunch.

Then off to Logan to see if our favorite cabin was ready for us to check in. Yea, it was!!!! No pictures this time. Beautiful one room cabin with kitchen, bed, fireplace, bath and the best relaxation technique of all. . .

Now, we did save this for later in the evening after dinner and a little "Gem stone mining" at one of the local campgrounds. But doesn't he look relaxed? It was cool outside, so the hot tub was the perfect ending for a busy day.




This is a picture of the geode we found in our bucket of 'treasures' at the mine. If you have never heard of a geode, look it up on the internet. Some are huge, beautiful, and very expensive. John is going to try and polish up the edges of this one.

We found other treasures, too. We had amythest, emeralds, garnets, moonstones, crystals, "fools gold", and lots of pretty stones. Nothing to make us rich, I'm sure, but we had fun.
Time to unpack, do laundry and check mail. Shame there isn't a hot tub in the back yard. Maybe some day.
