Where in the World is Enon Beach?

From time to time, Randy likes to play "Name that Place." He Google-Earth's some place we have been, and zeroing in with an aerial view gets me to try and guess where it is. Who needs money to travel the globe?! Yesterday, friends invited me to drive to Dayton, OH with them for an overnight visit. Travis and Britt live less than an hour further in Columbus. They agreed to pick me up for a "less than 24 hour visit." The question was, where to meet for the hand-off. Using a MapQuest aerial function, Travis picked Exit 47. "As you turn onto Enon Road you will see a building on the left with a parking lot. That's our spot!" However, from the aerial view he was not able to see the locked chain link fence that surrounded the property. And thus we came to end up across the street at Enon Beach. For young people today, the miracles of cell phones and GPS systems are so common as to be taken for granted. I've been in a lot of awkward situations in my life which could have been avoided had we known this kind of miracles. I'm so grateful to be part of a day where these things bless our lives in so many ways!

How nice that you got to see Trav and Britt and the boys...even if it was a short visit! I certainly had never heard of Enon Beach before!

Looks like a delightful place to vacation...doesn't it?

Glad you got to go on a little trip.
