This program is designed to be played in your vehicle while driving Interstate 71 through Ohio. It presents an overview of what you will find when driving this route.

I-71 is the most traveled interstate in Ohio. Its also, possibly, the most boring road in the state---but not with MOTOR programs to guide you through. Take this route and meet: the carousel that saved Mansfield, the serpent that spooked Lexington, and the proper English lady who trashed Cincinnati. Youll also get an answer to the age-old question, Why are barns red?

This road takes us through a region that was settled by New Englanders, another in which the German population was dominant, and yet another peopled largely by Virginians. The result is a diversity thats more than meets the eye. Well tell you how these separate heritages still influence life in these regions today.

While driving this route, well also cross the site of a pre-historic river that was wider and deeper than the Mississippi and that ran for some 2 million years. So what? Well, the effects of this ancient waterway still are with us. Well point some out to you.

Well tell you about the Amish settlements we pass through on this routethe largest concentration of Amish in the world. Well point out the region where the legendary Johnny Appleseed sold seedlings door to doorand tell the story of this gentle but strange man. And well go back to the beginnings of rock n roll. All this along Ohios most boring highway.

This program is an introduction to life along the Ohio section of Interstate 71 and can be listed to anywhere along the routeor in anticipation of taking this trip.
