Hi John,

nice pics - shot with the new Canon ?
Actually they were! Love that camera!

The world is a small place - my uncle lives in Ada, MI, close to Grand Rapids and you "forgot" to mention that the famous furniture company "Herman Miller" has its headquarter there.

So I assume the drive from Dayton is pretty much like going from GR to Chicago, more or less 4 hours - right ?

Anyway - I can remember having been at some of the places you showed but I also remember that it can get damned (please feel free to replace it with the "f"-word ) cold in the winter.

Thank you.

Greetings, Juergen
You are correct that it takes me roughly 4 hours ( a bit more) to make the trip...not bad at all. And you are correct that it gets darn cold there. Lake effect snow....
