Mini adventures

I’ve been doing enough flying to keep current but not been able to fly much beyond that with the weather. In order to get my instrument rating, one of the boxes I need to check is 50 hours of cross-country time (a trip farther than 50 nautical miles) as Pilot in Command (PIC). Right now I have 16 so I need to do a fair number of trips in the coming months. So towards that end I recently took a fun trip to an little airport in Ohio called New Philadelphia. On the way back from New Philly I had to answer a call of nature so I landed at a little country airport called Carroll County, I had heard there was a restaurant on the field. On final approach you go right over an old red barn before touching down, pretty cool. I taxied in and parked the plane at the transient lot. I went into the restaurant next to the field and upon going into the restaurant I noticed they had homemade pie and ice cream. So of course I had to order a slice of Black Raspberry, it was nothing short of phenomenal. I love that about GA, the mini adventures. Next time I go, I'll have to check out the Bluebird Farm, apparently just a 10 minute walk from the airport.
