   I've never really thought much of Ohio from the few times I've been
there.  But last month I went on a five-day motorcycle trip with a
bunch of friends through the mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, and
up into the valleys of Ohio and Pennsylvania.  We also stopped at
Shanksville, PA to see the Flight 93 memorial.
 The jewel of our trip was the Triple Nickel in Ohio.  They call it
Ohio's Tail of the Dragon, for those of you who know what I'm talking
about.  I wouldn't go that far with the description, but it was a fun
ride nonetheless.
