We started our day at the Clifton Mill for breakfast- this is for you Mike Lawrence- a picture of the vittles— a pancake that covers the whole plate. You get one free if you can eat two!
National Museum of the Air Force was incredible and definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Several hundred planes on display. They start with Wright brothers planes and early aviation. Canvas planes made of wood and wire.
Then the museum covers WWI and WWII and the exhibit has the plane that ended World War II - The Bockscar
The Memphis Belle-
I love the art work on the planes. I especially love the command decision plane with Disney characters flipping a coin!
Then on to more modern aviation with Korean and Vietnam wars and dessert storm.
Stealth bomber-
We found the bomb Mark worked on when he was employed by Texas Instruments - the Paveway III.

Check out the missile room.
They also had 4 Air Force One presidential planes. Which all had names like the “Independence.” They were definitely not fancy. Presidential seal on the tables is the only indication of the presidents office.
This was Kennedy’s plane and the one that Johnson was sworn in as president (1963).
Yellow Springs is a little colorful artsy town. Notice the rain collection system - and trash cans for normal and recycling made from tile mosaics.
Our final stop for the day was with miss Ruby. There is a working dairy farm six miles from the state park campground.
We visited Young’s Jersey Farms milking barn, some babies and finished it off with delicious ice cream…. And had to bring back some super fresh cheese curds and of course some homemade buckeyes!
