Pics from Ohio, KY and MD

Here are some pics from our week in Ohio and in the Red River Gorge in Kentucky.
The climbing gym in Dayton is supremely cool. The gym is a gutten old church - stained glass windows in a climbing gym are def. a nice touch!

The Red River Gorge was excellent! Miguel's Pizza is a must-a-roo for anyone even remotely thinking of climbing there. They charge climbers a mere $2 per person per night to camp out in the back yard of the pizza joint. Not to mention the weirdo pizza offerings (tofu, hummus, sweet potato, to name a few) Phenomenal! As Gregg's brother Paul put it, it's like Never Never Land there!

The night before landing in DC for the conference, we drove through WV and MD, stopping for the night in Cumberland - which supprised the bejesus out of me with its phemonemalness.
The town has the most beautiful and grand architecture - stunning houses, murals, and old downtown - the works!!! I was sold, even at midnight in the dark. We slept in our car that night - which was more comfortable then I expected - even though I had steering wheel side....
