After
breakfast, we printed route and made hotel reservations in Cincinnati
Ohio, Champaign Illinois, and Cedar Rapids Iowa. We got on the road
at 10:30 AM. We must drive seven hours today. We stopped for lunch at
the Princess Diner in Frostburg Maryland, where we ate lunch at the
halfway point of our scenic train ride from Cumberland last year.
We
stopped at the first rest stop in West Virginia. You can see their
state prison from the parking lot-- and it is snowing! I took a photo
of a huge truck with a yellow container marked "radioactive."
I got out the radiation meter. At 150 feet, the count was 45 to 60
microrems per hour, and the meter was beeping from some of the radiation
bursts. Since the background levels here are 9 to 13 microrems per
hour, the truck is definitely putting out some radiation. I sure
hope the driver has a film badge! :-(
We
stopped in Harrison, Ohio, near Cincinnati. We had lunch with uncle
Rollin Workman, the brother of Anne's mother. He is looking well, and
we had a great visit with him.
