At the end of April every year the area around Mohican State Park hosts Wildlife Weekend. Mike and I were able to squeeze in an overnight there this year. We went on a birding boat tour at Clear Fork Reservoir, visited the Ohio Bird Sanctuary, and got in a nice hike…
On March 8th of this year I took a trip down to the Hocking Hills. We had recently had some good rains, so I went with the idea that I would try to take pictures of some of the waterfalls from different angles than I had on previous trips. I…
I am a bit behind on my 52 project. I have had some unexpected trips out of town, but I will catch up. Thank goodness I am not trying to do a 365 this year! On Monday we had some beautiful weather, and since I am working on a state…
In 2008 I started a project that involved putting a book together about Ohio’s State parks. I visited a lot of the parks, but because of the size of the project and the distance I would have needed to travel to get to all of the parks, it was put…

We took a trip to the Moonville Rail Trail. Getting to the Moonville tunnel was an easy hike from the road. We thought we would hike up to the King Switch tunnel further down the path, but bridges were out. After crossing one area on rocks we came to another…
Today’s hike was along the Grandma Gatewood trail. We parked cars at either end and hiked between Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, and Old man’s cave. The map says it is 6 miles, but several measuring devices had our hike at just over 7 miles. This is a section of the…
It seems like this is going to be a Hocking Hills week. Mike and I started out Sunday seeking out an old Church at the northern edge of the Hocking Hills. On Monday I took a solo trip to Wesley Chapel, Ash Cave and Cedar Falls. Tuesday was a trip to…
We had beautiful weather today for the Burr Oak winter Hike. It was sweatshirt weather, and we had a nice blue sky. Our group was thinking about doing the 3 mile loop, but missed the turn and ended up doing the 5 mile trek. We did get to see some…
