Nineteenth Stop: Urbana - Champaign County, Ohio

On Stop #19 of our “Help Ellen Achieve World Domination in 2010: Ohio 88 County Tour” we traveled into Urbana in Champaign County, Ohio and found the Johnny Appleseed Museum located on the campus of Urbana University! Johnny Appleseed traveled west from New England in the 1790s and planted apple seeds throughout the territories. We are currently traveling west through Ohio - maybe we should be planting "Ellen pictures" as we go...



We continued on into downtown Urbana in Champaign County, Ohio and had to take a picture in front of “My Old Ohio House” for our “Help Ellen Achieve World Domination in 2010: Ohio 88 County Tour.”

We tried to jump on the train in Champaign County but discovered this one was going anywhere anytime soon!

Eighteenth Stop: Marysville - Union County, Ohio

We were still on our third day of travels through Ohio with the eventual goal of getting a picture of "Ellen" in each of Ohio's 88 counties. So far on Day 3 we have been to Canton in Stark County (Northeast Ohio), Millersburg in Holmes County (that was seriously a dangerous leg on the trip - the roads wind around and around and up and down and, while the speed limit is often high, we were afraid to do more than crawl at many points after coming upon a horse-drawn carriage at the other side of a hill shortly after entering into Holmes County - scared the daylights out of us [probably them, too!], moving west we next stopped in Mt. Vernon in Knox County, then Delaware in Delaware County. Around 3:30 in the afternoon we made it to Union County.


Another stop in our "Help Ellen Achieve World Domination in 2010: Ohio 88 County Tour." This time it's Stop #18 and we've brought "Ellen" to Marysville in Union County, Ohio.










Along with our mission of Helping Ellen Achieve World Domination, as we roll into Stop #18 we've begun to feel as if we are also on a scavanger hunt to "find the cannon" as we are seeing cannons aplenty!

Seventeenth Stop: Delaware - Delaware County, Ohio

These Ellen fans are moving "Ellen" through the state of Ohio. On the 17th stop in the "Help Ellen Achieve World Domination in 2010: Ohio 88 County Tour" we land pretty much in the center of the state in Delaware which is the county seat of Delware County, Ohio.






One more picture in Delaware, Ohio and then these Ellen fans are "movin' on." Seventeen counties down - seventy-one to go in our quest to help Ellen Achieve World Domination in 2010 ... gotta run!

Sixteenth Stop: Mt. Vernon - Knox County, Ohio

Traveling a little farther west into Central Ohio brings you to Mt. Vernon in Knox County and our 16th stop on our "Help Ellen Achieve World Domination in 2010: Ohio 88 County Tour."

While roaming around Knox County we turned a bend and found: A Rolls Royce Plant right smack in the middle of Ohio!

Who knew!

Fifteenth Stop: Holmes County, Ohio

Our 15th stop in the "Help Ellen Achieve World Domination in 2010: Ohio 88 County Tour" led us to Holmes County - Amish Country.

Horse-drawn carriages are a common sight around these parts and the landscape is hilly, twisty and winding. After one heart-pounding close encounter and near collisiob with a buggy, these Ellen fans found themselves holding their breath at the crest of each hill!







We found a quaint little downtown in the county seat of Millersburg and stopped for a pic in front of the Hotel Millersburg.









On our way out of Holmes County, we couldn't resist grabbing a Heini - oops, that's not right - I meant to say "grabbing a picture at Heini's!"





We'd better move on to the next stop before we get ourselves in trouble...
