( A GREAT WAY TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME IS TO CHECK OUT MY WORLD TUESDAY)
There is an interesting area I have been wanting to explore. In a previous post I have talked about and shown photos of the Thomas Cabin and the Mathias Cabin. These two cabins are separated by a ridge that runs between them. The top of the ridge is about 100 feet higher in elevation than the two cabins.
For this post I am going to start at the high point of the hike and work backwards.
Top left photo shows the cliff at my back. Top right photo shows skyline and the two bottom photos show the woods to the left and right.
After going about 100 feet I found a level spot bottom left photo. I sat down by a tree took a couple photos of the sky through the trees and took a nap. (The sun was out and I did dress warmly) and down we go ( Love those Gnarly Trees )
Top left photo (where I had been) then down—down—and looking back up.
The top two photos show what I think is the remnants of an old “spring house” Just another view below left

LARGE FORMATIONS OF Black Hand Sandstone
YouTube video of Clear Creek Metro Park Jan 2009 shows photo of one of the cabins.
thanks for taking us on a hike.

You did great Joe.... Isn't it just FUN to be out in the woods ALONE--and can sit in the sunshine and even take a nap?????? Wow--Life is GOOD....
ReplyDeleteLove the slideshow... I spent about 15 minutes looking at all of the pictures and twirling them around to see everything from every angle. That was NEAT... I thought I was right there with you!!!!
Love the SNOW pictures... Some neat looking churches in there... Love the cave and the water pictures also.
Lots of history in Granville.
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent vantage point on the first shot - feels like you are flying like a bird!
ReplyDelete...see what is in front of my house!
Wow! What majestic trees and rock! What a scenic hike. You are not alone on that "if I would take off weight the hike would be easier"...another resolution, another year! Nice post!
ReplyDeleteNo snow, Joe! You need to come to Ontario. (OK, only kidding.)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great place to hike: cliffs, trees, sandstone, sky.
I hope you'll take us there for a tour in the spring too. I bet the wildflowers there are amazing under the deciduous trees.
cool post. love that first shot..some crazy tall tree shadows in there!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and interesting pictures of your world.
ReplyDeleteAmazing place for hiking and adventure. The snaps have come very well.

Wonderful photos, Joe. I love the rustc look on your framed mosaics.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous views of this wonderful hike! Thanks so much for inviting us along. I'm sharing a bit of My Seasonal World this week.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Whew!! I think I got worn out too. NAP TIME!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots, I love the frames and collages.
There are lots of old and new barns in the valley down my hill. Well there are some old ones up this hill too. I posted a collage of several awhile back----now you can explore. ha! MB
Joe: What a neat look at the park with you at the ridge. We are getting blasted with snow. Now get out there and fill those bird feeders. LOL
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your journey! I like those sky shots through the trees. If I lived closer, I would have enjoyed walking it with you!

You are so clever, The collage are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou even make winter trees so interesting,
Are you having a great hol?
What a beautiful place, Joe!
ReplyDeleteHey Joe, thanks for the hike! Lord knows I needed it. (You said something on FT-L about wondering what to do with leftover Christmas goodies. Surely you jest ;>). We will not have deserts the rest of the year, but for now ....)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that area is just beautiful. And there's that Old Man Cave again. I love that. And the remains of the spring house-- couldn't figure out that picture until I read your explanation. It was strangely beautiful!
Happy New Year and thanks again for sharing your adventures.
Cool hiking! Your first picture actually gives the sense of looking down the hill. That is hard to capture in a photo- I keep trying, but don't often seem to get it. Great job.
ReplyDeleteif you go down to the woods today....I hope there's no bears in them there woods!
