Yellow Springs - St. Louis

After a good night's sleep, we made coffee and enjoyed the weather ( and the pit toilets. ). All packed and ready to go, we drove a short distance to a trailhead and walked along the Little Miami River. The trail was a loop combining the south gorge trail and the Cincinnati - Pittsburgh stage coach trail. A couple miles of movement before a long drive.

After the hike we drove into Yellow Springs and had breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe. The food was excellent with the blueberry pancake rolled and filled with feta cheese and basil being the standout item of our order.

Shortly after noon, we began the 6 how drive to St. Louis, arriving at Josh and Liz's about 5:15 local time. Shortly after we headed to Yaquis on Cherokee for pizza. The pizza was excellent and the live music included a fiddle. Next stop was A Spoonful of Sugar to try the banana pudding ice cream that we had missed out on previous visits. It lived up to its billing, not too sweet. We headed back to the house and were in bed by 1030.Read more
