So I'm used to packing to fly somewhere where I'll do some hiking. That's easy, regular clothes, hiking boots, backpack with built-in water bottle, Tilley hat. Then comes road tripping to the Rocky Mountains with Cathy and I learned that you can take a cooler with your own food in it, enter the big cooler into my life. Plus hiking poles that aren't really airport friendly. Then I went to Minnesota last year with the Subaru, suddenly I could bring my bike as well. So.... That means regular clothes, biking clothes (the combo of which works for hiking), shoes, hiking shoes, hiking shoes, backpack, water bottles (2 cuz one keeps ice longer but rattles in my bike cage), Tilley hat, bike helmet, big cooler' hiking poles, bike pump. Yikes! What a production.
I managed to get everything into my car and on the road around 6:30 as planned. Headed east on 80 and wound up in Ohio at Cuyahoga Valley National Park around 4 their time, Not bad. It was about to rain, so I found food and hotel, then went back to the park for a short 10 mile bike ride.
Plan for the day... Take the steam trail to the north side of the park then ride my bike back to my car. There's a couple of hiking trails that lead to water falls so I may check those out as well,
