After an hour or so of driving, we crossed over into Indiana. In doing so, we entered the Eastern time zone.
We remained in that lovely state until about 3:30 PM, when we crossed the Ohio State line.
Our stay in Ohio was brief, only about 40 minutes.
We are now in Kentucky - Newport, KY to be specific. It's a tourist town with lots of bars, restaurants and shopping.
US-50 does not enter Kentucky, but it does parallel the Ohio river going through Cincinnati, and Kentucky is just across the bridge (any of several) to Kentucky. Lodging is a bit cheaper on this side.
Tonight we walked to dinner, and afterwards to the riverbank for a lovely view of the river, and the bridges which cross over. One of them is a 'Pedestrians Only' bridge, and we walked part way across and then back.
The Reds baseball stadium, and the Bengals football stadium are both on the riverbank, and they are actually best viewed from the Kentucky side. Here's a shot of the baseball stadium.
If the Reds were in town, we would likely be there with them. Instead, they are in our home state playing the SF Giants.
The Dodgers are only two games behind the Giants in the standings, so GO REDS ! ! !
Of the four states seen today, three of them are new to David, Illinois being the exception. None of the four are new to Lynne, thanks to her business travels prior to her retirement.
Tomorrow, we will re-enter Ohio, rejoin US-50, and continue east to West Virginia.
Miles today = 254
Miles on US-50 today = 254. We are 78% of the way to Ocean City, MD.
TO = 2632.
