I know, I know. I'm getting slow at posting trip info. As a matter of fact, I haven't printed my photo books from my 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 trips. I've a photo book from every trip taken since 2002. Sometimes twice a year if we made smaller trips. My priorities have changed, I guess. 

Well, now...our first stops.

Americana in Bedford PA. once made the list as the world's biggest coffee pot. The handle is on the other side. My SIL and BIL as models.

We traveled to Jeffersonville, Indiana in search of other oddities. The Colgate Clock is one of the largest clocks in the world. It works.

We visited Schimpff's Confectionery, since 1891, one of the oldest, continuously operated, family-owned candy businesses in the United States. It was exactly as advertised. Best chocolate I've ever had!

The Big Four Bridge is a local favorite as a walkway to Louisville Kentucky. We enjoyed it at night after a nice dinner on the river in Jeffersonville.

My favorite in Indiana was the Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville. There, the Ohio River bed contains a treasure trove of aquatic fossils from the Devonian period; corals, brachiopods, snails, and others. I saw several fossils I though may be coral. The Ohio was obliging as it was extremely low.

We crossed the river to Louisville for the factory every baseball lover enjoys!

This is the only time I've seen my man touching something related to sports! I managed to find some artwork in the factory; bats lined up to be trimmed. 

This panel is cropped from a larger photo of a backboard that appears to be where paint sprayers are cleared before use. This will be printed to hang on my walls somewhere!

That's the first 5 day portion of my trip, I still have to correct a bunch of photos from the other 12 days!
