A friend and I went on a 10 hour sojuorn to the capital of Ohio.
My friend Doug and his husband were in town. Whle Erik worked, we took our quick trip - out and back - to visit mostly campus.
Doug had not been back to THE Ohio State University in about 30 years. I'd say it's not the same campus, but in many ways, it still is.
The Oval (seen in the image) is still the centerpiece and not much has changed other than the maturing of trees.
We covered a lot of territory, but not the entire campus. That's fairly impossible in the timeframe in which we had. And Doug was still recovering from a knee replacement, so long bouts of walking weren't really in the cards.
On the big plus side, we got to see Georty and have lunch with the 'orty' side of the couple. Again, Doug hadn't seen Mort in 30 years. It was a nice, if abbreviated, visit.
Still, down and back in the car was tiring. And I was up well before dawn for an a.m. run, since I knew I'd be sitting a lot of the day.

Those pilgrimages tire the body and feed the soul.
I miss going there for day trips. My son graduated in 2019 (my daughter in 2014). So many changes made to campus (and town) in our time there; sure there have been many more since then.
Travel is good
