Obie Land

Class of 2018?


For the past 10 years, as we traversed Ohio, we passed the exit on the turnpike for Oberlin College. Since my friend Marian is a graduate of that fine institution, each time I've proclaimed that "some day, when we're going through here at the right time, we're going to stop." That day finally turned out to be June 12. Because of delays through Chicago due to the Blackhawks parade and the Cubs playing the Sox, we did not get as far as we'd hoped our first travel day. We stopped just a few miles down the road from Oberlin. The next morning, I managed to convince Dan & G that a small detour through "Obie Land" (as Marian calls it) was not going to set us back too far. It was a lovely campus and a nice little town, and most likely we will be visiting it again in the next few years. We've gotten our feet wet now and campus touring won't seem so daunting in the future (which of course pleases me no end!).
