Vacation Part 8 - Ohio High Point

Just for fun we stopped at Ohio's highest spot in Bellefontaine.


To put this in perspective, the elevation where we live is around 666 feet above sea level.
Willis Tower (Sears Tower) in Chicago is 1,451 feet tall.


They had certificates you could fill out to prove you were there. 


"X" marks the spot.



There is a little bit of history at this spot as well.
The short story in case you can't read it:
It was a military radar station part of NORAD during the Cold War.
It ceased operation in 1969.
Now it is a vocational education center.
