Mr. Lincoln or is that Mr. Big?

Mansfield Ohio-the all American City. Filming location of one of my favorite films; The Shawshank Redemption. You can even do a self driving tour of the locations of the film. Julie and I wanted to eat our fried chicken in a scenic spot and we hit the jackpot. The bicentennial parade was in full swing, (see previous video of shriners in mini-cars) and we got to meet the good people of the Lincoln Highway association of Ohio. I even had a close encounter with "Big" Lincoln who bore a strong resemblance to Carrie Bradshaw's b.f.
The marker we are standing in front of was hand-casted by one of the members of the Mansfield Lincoln Highway Association. He makes them for the whole country!
I think you can't top this experience. So the rest of my posts will be about new discoveries around Saratoga Springs. We are in fact, here in Saratoga, safe and sound. Chumley is coming out of his haze and very happy to see his grandparents.

Thanks for reading about my adventures on the road. Please check the blog every now and then and feel free to comment and stay in touch.
