Harley Davidson Travel Blog . . . and thoughts along the journey

On 07/15/2005 I left to drive along the Ohio river on Rt.8 . i left early afternoon and went down to Cincinnati on Rt 127. 127 will lead you directly into Cincinnati and is a smorgasboard of old architecture of stores and old home settings. You will find out that Rt. 8 is a little hard to find once you cross the river to KY, but once you found your "East direction" you will cherish the wonderful ride. The road will lead you through beautiful wooded area along the Ohio river and to my surprise you will find hardly any traveler on the road.



















When you arrive at Augusta, KY, you must stop at the Parkview Inn on 103 West Second Street.

a note about the website of the Parkview Inn:
The website does not really represent the beauty of this Inn. Although it has tons of information, the graphic design and coding need to be revised to keep up with the standards of the internet and need to represent the Inn.
I know so, because I design sites for small and large clients. . . . Just in case you would be interested in have your site developed or re-designed contact me: Manfred Schreyer

The Parkview Inn
The Inn is owned by the Mohrfields, who also own the General Store in town and the local Pub. The reception by the folks (I guess you call them Innkeeper) was outstanding and I was well taken care off in our room. The Inn offers a variety of different rooms which are incredibly tastefully decorated.
The town of Augusta is located in the flood plains of the Ohio River. This small romantic town reminds you a little about Williamsburg, since many building are standing 'tall" as in their days.
While I was there the "General's house" at the end of a shore road was for sale by a local realtor. Though I was tempted to give this (a little dilapidated) property a visit, I noticed that prospective buyers (or already new owners) negotiated in the drive of the historic building. I must warn you . . . when you stroll along the river and walk by the often meticulous kept houses, yards and gardens you will be swept away into another era . . . .
