Rainy Days and Sundays . . .

We weren't going to let the rain make us sad, so we started out the day heading to Ash Cave which was covered and protected us from the rain. Ash Cave is named after the huge pile of ashes found under the shelter by early settlers. The largest pile was recorded as being 100 feet long, 30 feet wide and 3 feet deep. The source of the ashes is unknown, but is believed to be from Indian campfires built up over hundreds of years.

After getting to a point that we could no longer feel our fingers, we decided to head back to the hotel and get dry and warm. The afternoon we headed to Athens for some indoor creativity and visited the Dairy Barn Art Center http://www.dairybarn.org/ and Kennedy Museum of Arts http://www.ohio.edu/museum/ at Ohio University. The Dairy Barn opened a new exhibition on Friday entitled OH +5 which featured artists from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It was a wonderful exhibit and included a variety of media and techniques.

Our day ended with a great and inexpensive meal at Jack's Steakhouse in Logan. Tomorrow we are heading to Lower Falls before returning home.
