Instead of driving straight home from camp I went about an hour north to Kirtland, OH. It was a nice drive through some Amish-type country. I saw a number of buggies and when I stopped for gas there were some parked for the people to go to the convenience store. I saw a pony looking a little bunny with three kids in it. It was really beautiful country around Hiram and Kirtland, not very developed still. It's funny how places with important church history, where people drove the Mormons out for fear of what they'd do to the community or whatever, didn't seem to prosper so much after we left. I don't think I've been to any church history site that had anything beyond church history to draw a person there.
I had an interesting visit to Kirtland, ended up talking an hour or more to an investigator, Kenneth, who was visiting the sites to see what he was reading about in the D&C. If you want to read more about that check out my main blog for an account.
I took this picture of the Johnson Inn with the Whitney home to the right in the background just before Kenneth started a conversation with me.
