This picture is from my 2002 Road to Revolution day trip. The journal is organized as a day trip and posted in the DayTrips directory but had to have a Next Page link added because the trip actually occupied two days. It’s the only such journal in my collection. The sequence of Trip Peeks is random but of late the selections have been from the fairly recent past. This is the earliest trip to appear in a Trip Peek for quite some time. The photo is from Zoar Village which I visited on that second day.

The trip’s title comes from its destination being Fort Laurens, Ohio’s only Revolutionary War fort. Stops on the way included Great Circle Earthworks, National Road and Zane Grey Museum, and Gnadenhutten. I knew very little about Zoar Village at the time but stopped there for dinner at a place that was also an inn. I quickly realized that this was a place I needed to see so I spent the night and toured the village the next day.

Trip Peeks are short articles published when my world is too busy or too boring for a current events piece to be completed in time for the Sunday posting. In addition to a photo thumbnail from a completed road trip, each Peek includes a brief description of that photo plus links to the full-sized photo and the associated trip journal.
