A rural Hayesville, OH resident chuckles at the kneeling photographer as the resident leaves the village post office and the photographer (me) adds him to the composition of the Lincoln Highway monument at the intersection of that highway and SR 60.

Lady friend Sue Brooks and I were launching our tour of the Lincoln Highway in eastern Ohio that rainy morning and had stopped for lunch at the Olde Inn in that rural, Ashland County town.  A series of stories from our tour will begin Saturday with a piece on the Steel Trolley Diner in Lisbon, OH.
