DAY 14 - SATURDAY - SEPT 21, 2024
| COVINGTON KY - CINCINNATI OH |
| Day 14 started out or Carrollton KY, about half way between
Louisville and Cincinnati. Our goal today is a day MLB Game in
Cincinnati. From the Covington KY side of the Ohio River, we had a great view of Cincinnati and the Great American Ball Park. The photo of me captured this trip perfectly. We traveled to interesting places, finding Fireboats, going to Baseball Games, taking pictures, and sipping out of my trademark Biggie cup. Perfect. |
| COVINGTON KY - CINCINNATI OH |
| Covington KY has had a Fireboat for many years. We had
photographed it before. This year, one of the Cincinnati Fireboats was also docked on that side of the river. |
| FIREBOAT COUNT: (2) For Day / (30) For Trip |
| CINCINNATI OH |
| Prior to the Game, we had a n opportunity to explore some of the
Cincinnati Fire Stations and neighborhoods. Cincinnati makes claims
to a number of Firsts. The Cincinnati Fire Department gets credit
for being the FIRST IN THE NATION Fully Paid and Professional Fire
Department in the country - born on April 1, 1853. |
| CINCINNATI OH |
| Another beautiful day and another beautiful MLB Ball Park. The
Cincinnati Reds hosted the Pittsburgh Pirates for a day game at the
Great American Ball Park. Once again, we lucked out getting last minute parking near the park and some cheap tickets that allowed us to wander around the park, enjoying many perspectives. The Cincinnati Reds claim another First. They were the FIRST
PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL TEAM in 1869. |
| KENTUCKY to WEST VIRGINIA |
| From Cincinnati, we headed east through some more scenic
America. We finally arrived in Huntington WV for dinner and hotel
