We are at Mohican Adventures Campground a little south of Loudonville, Ohio. After Labor Day is a good time to travel and check out the local hot spots without all the crowds. Today we went to nearby Malabar Farm State Park. We had lunch at the beautiful Farm Restaurant in the scenic hills of central Ohio. After lunch we went to the top of Mt. Jeez Overlook to enjoy the great weather and the fine view.

Here you can see some of the buildings at Malabar Farm State Park.

As you can see, there was a haze over the area until late in the day.

Later, we drove through the “Ohio Amish Country” of Holmes County. It was a nice peaceful drive amid the farms. We passed several horse drawn buggies containing families of all ages. In the town of Berlin, we wandered in and out of many craft and souvenir shops but didn’t buy anything even though we did see lots of things we really liked. When we think of the small space we now have, it is easy to refrain from buying most things. On the way back to the motor home we stopped at a cheese factory store and purchased some Apple Butter and two fried pies for tonight’s desert.
