The Baseball Trip 2025

 Day 4 - Monday, July 21

We leave the Cleveland area, headed to Erie, Pennsylvania and Presque Isle Downs. The ponies await.

Random Observation From Randy: 89 will take us to 5, and 5 will take us right into Pennsylvania. Then we can get the hell out of Ohio.

Presque Isle is also a casino, so yes, that will show up in the stats.

Favorite sign: Vicious Biscuit      That is also the name of the place we stopped for breakfast. The food was good, but, to our chagrin, it turns out it's a chain. Randy noticed their franchise license on the wall.

Here's a couple of pictures from the track:

Infield tote board.

Stables.

Paddock area.

The 4 horse won me some of my money back.

I ended up down $25.00. But I went to the casino and left after I got it back. (+ $15.00 for the two Sam Adams I had.)

Favorite Town: Lucinda, PA.

Favorite Signs:  Wiggle Butt Inn

                           Peace, Love & Flat Fees

                           Dead Nuts Taxidermy

Things we cannot hang around for:  Greek Fest - Warren, OH

                                                              Paddlefest - Conneaut, PA

Casinos - 1 - see above.

Unique People - 1 - Lady talking to a horse in the paddock area. Hi baby! Hi! How are you baby?

Cybertrucks - 0

Random Observation From Randy: I have to ask my doctor why I have such ups and downs with my alertness. He'll probably tell me it's just my body fighting off death.

Tomorrow: Harrisburg, PA, and the AA Senators vs. the Akron Rubber Ducks.
