What began this past Thursday ends today.
An annual event. An opportunity to add to the accumulation of things you didn’t know you needed. Or, to thin out the collection of that which you’ve discovered you don’t.
From Addison, Michigan to Gadsden, Alabama, U.S. Route 127 is host to the biggest yard sale, garage sale, barn sale, in the world. Whatever you want to call it, it’s the biggest.
It isn’t the only one, there are several other routes that have similar events, but this is the longest. It goes for mile after mile after mile; six hundred and ninety miles of stuff people want to sell. Stuff you might want to buy. Bring a truck, a trailer or a van.
Approximately 200 of those miles are here in Western Ohio. Rural Ohio, small town Ohio. Located among fields of soybeans and corn, the old road links every county seat of every Ohio county that shares a border with Indiana.
Are you looking to buy a used car or maybe an old fishing rod? You never know, there could be treasure. There could be. Hunters by the hundreds, by the thousands, by the millions, take short vacations this time of year. Not to see our soybeans or our corn, but to search for our treasure.
I have an old fishing rod!
