Thirty-sixth Stop: Monroe County, Ohio

It’s the last stop for the night on our “Help Ellen Achieve World Domination in 2010: Ohio 88 County Tour” and we’ve come to Stop #36 - Monroe County, Ohio. We found this sign at the county line indicating Monroe is the “Switzerland of Ohio” – and wondered: “What does this mean?” Hah! We found out in a hurry. There’s nothing quite like deciding you are lost, on top of an Ohio mini-mountain in the pitch dark! We drove up and down and round and round, unable to see past the headlights, until our GPS-friend tried to get us to drive right off the side of the mountain one too many times. We admitted defeat – and were finally able to turn around! We eventually got out of Monroe County and back to civilization and wound our way down to the next county to spend the night in Marietta – in preparation for the next day’s round of travels! Whew!
