“Muskingum County was a hub of river traffic and is famous for the “Y” Bridge which was built at the confluence of the Muskingum and Licking Rivers. The county got its name from the Native American term , Moos-kin-gung meaning “a town on the side of the river.” Some claim the natives called it the “Elk Eye River.”
The Healing Chapel Smallest Church in Ohio blogged last January. Drove through Coolville again today so stopped by. This time got out and went inside. Steve found it interesting, too.

Full-scale models were made in plasticene. Negative models were made from the clay and used to make positive casts. They in turn were pressed into a mixture called “French sand” which created a mold in which the bronze could be cast at the Bidi-Makky Art Foundry in Brooklyn. The 7,000-pound bronze was moved in three parts to Manhattan on May 19.”
A follow up to the Denali post from yesterday. September 2016.
My sister and I were lucky we were in the 30% of visitors who can actually see Denali. Our first day it wasn’t visible. The highest peak in North America. This view was taken from the train headed back to Anchorage.
