October 5, 2009

Destination….Hardy! Today is the end of the line for a wonderful journey. There were only two places on our list to visit. The first was Mosser Glass in Cambridge, OH.



Mosser Glass is a small glass company which is family owned. They employ about 30 people, and produce glassware that ranges from figurines to dishes and light lenses. Custom orders also comprise much of their business. Having stopped here last year, we decided to return to look for a piece to add to our collection.




Not far down the road is Fenton Glass which produces a very large quantity of glass. Most everyone has heard of Fenton and seen their products in gift shops and antique stores. They produce many seasonal items. We found a Halloween Ghost (first photo) to keep company with a witch that we found last year.












The rest of our trip through WV and VA was uneventful. As we made that trip we talked about the last 21 days. We traveled 3492 miles, stayed in 12 different cities/towns and met a lot of wonderful people. When we tried to pick a favorite attraction, we realized that it was impossible. So here is a short list of some of our favorites.





The Merry-Go-Rounds – Kids at heart!














Presque Isle Lighthouse – Cheryl’s climb to the stars.




















Tower of History – Views of the Soo Locks and Canada




















Tahquamenon Falls – One word, beautiful!
















Pictured Rocks – Mother Nature’s canvas!















Delaware Copper Mine – Dark and wet.



















Seul Choix Lighthouse – One of the best we saw.




















The Cherry Republic – YUM!
















The Beaches
and Sunsets – So many different looks.















And one we cannot show you…the Milky Way. We saw this while we were staying at the Whitefish Point Crew Quarters. You can only see this if you are in a totally dark place and the sky is completely clear. Nothing can compare to it.




It has been a ball, and we hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have. Until our next adventure…

T&C


One final note to the folks at S-O-R…your expertise, encouragement and “mommy eyes” aided in a speedy recovery so I was able to make this trip. MANY THANKS!! Cheryl
