We started our ride today at the Boston Store Visitor Center, which is the northern point we reached on our last ride. We had hoped to bike north and take the Scenic Railroad back south, but it only had two trips today, so we were too late for that. We biked to Lock 39 at the northern end of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and returned for a round trip of about 22 miles.
We learned a lot about life on the canal. One interesting exhibit discussed the lives of children who lived and worked on the boats. One game they played was "Clear the Decks"--the designated player tried to knock as many kids off the boat as possible!
At the end of the ride we stopped at the Trail Mix shop across from the Boston Store Visitor Center. The big attraction was that they advertised Mitchell's Ice Cream, which they sold in cups from a freezer case. We both had double chocolate chunk--yummy!
