Binghamton Mets Opening Game

We went to opening day of the Binghamton Mets last night. There was a "tailgate party" outside the stadium before the game sponsored by some local radio and TV stations. Wouldn't you know it, the TV reporter covering opening day decided to interview Liz for the local news!

I got the call a couple of days ago from the NPS that I was selected for the campground host position at Owens Creek campground in Catoctin Mountain National Park. I will be leaving to go there on April 30 and will be camping at Owens Creek for the month of May. It is in western Maryland and is only about 200 miles from here.

I drove back from my mother's home in Loveland, Ohio to Owego. The weather was really good the entire 600 miles, unlike the trip out. The traffic was generally light but the road construction zones are beginning to be set up for the summer.

Little Miami River Bike Path

This afternoon I rode the Little Miami Scenic Trail from Loveland to the Train Depot Tavern. The Train Depot is typically a biker bar with live music during the summer. It took me about an hour to find a place to park because there was a children's Easter Egg Hunt going on.

Loveland

I took my bicycle to the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail and rode from Loveland to about Milford and back. This was a little over 14 miles roundtrip and was a bit further than I had planned to bike. The temperature was about 65 degrees which is almost perfect weather for biking or running. It is warm enough for shorts and a t-shirt yet cool enough so you won't dehydrate quickly like in the summer.
