Gotta post my thanks to Tiki once again,for showing me those websites.We were visiting the World's Largest Horseshoe Crab in Blanchester,and spoke to one of the guys we found painting it,he ran off and rang his Pastor (the crab is part of a church garden) who came running to see the two strange folks from England who had come to admire his crustacean.We spent a pleasant hour chatting and being shown around his church.Apparently we're now the current record-holders for those who have travelled furtherest to see it. We're not especially religious types ourselves,but we are polite,and it was nice to stop and shoot the breeze.I'd have never found such a thing without those websites,so thanks once again Tiki

Ohio must be the friendliest State we've encountered so far.

Oh yes,and Touchdown Jesus is remarkable,well worth a visit if anyone finds themselves around Monroe (OH),pull into the church he's out in front of,(for some reason they have a very large parking lot),and you can get pretty close.Watch out for the Geese as you approach tho,they're stroppy.

Apologies to Glatt...we'd spent 3-4 days in WV,it was starting to get a bit oppressive.

By the way,are there any actual real live Raccoons is the U.S,or do they just appear spontaneously dead on the roadsides?They're by far the most common roadkill we see.
