NOT ALL WATER IS BLUE A QUICK VISIT TO THE “MUDDY” MAUMEE RIVER YET STILL SCENIC

MAKE SURE TO VISIT:

1.That's MY WORLD Tuesday

2.WATERY WEDNESDAY

A VIEW FROM FORT MEIGS, SEE THE FISHERMEN IN THE RIVER? (LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE ALMOST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER.)

  The month of March begins the walleye run up the Maumee River.”The famed "Muddy Maumee" has the largest watershed of any river in the entire Great Lakes system with more than 6,300 square miles of rich farmland draining into it.”

I USED TO LIVE IN PERRYSBURG,OHIO AND HAVE OFTEN HIKED BESIDE OR IN THE MAUMEE RIVER

WE WILL NOW HEAD “UP RIVER” TO GRAND RAPIDS,OHIO

FINALLY MADE IT TO GRAND RAPIDS

ALMOST NOON AND I’M STARTING TO GET HUNGRY BUT LET’S EXPLORE FIRST

ONE TIME MANY MANY YEARS AGO I DID THE HIKE FROM FARNSWORTH METROPARK TO GRAND RAPIDS AND BACK ABOUT 15 MILES.

THIS IS ALL PART OF TOLEDO METROPARKS. CHECK OUT The Canal Experience At Providence

LINDA ON THE TOWPATH WHAT A TROOPER. WE HAD BEEN UP SINCE 5:00 AM HAD LEFT LANCASTER,OHIO DRIVEN TO MAUMEE,OHIO,GONE TO GRANDPARENTS DAY AT THE “KIDS” SCHOOL AND NOW WE ARE EXPLORING THE MAUMEE RIVER & CANAL.

  THE MAUMEE RIVER JUST TO LINDAS RIGHT

THE MULE CORRALL. THE DAY WE VISITED WE DIDN’T HAVE TO SHARE THE TOWPATH WITH THE MULES. AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY HAD JUST FINISHED PUTING THE CANAL BOAT IN THE WATER FOR THE SEASON. NOW I AM REALLY HUNGRY SO BACK TO GRAND RAPIDS TO EAT

LINDA HAD A TACO SALAD AND I HAD ONE OF THE BEST ITALIAN SUBS EVER. I REALLY LIKED THE SIGN ON THE WALL IN THE MENS RESTROOM: “ IF YOU SPRINKLE WHEN YOU TINKLE PLEASE BE NEAT AND CLEAN THE SEAT.” I’VE ALWAYS BEEN MORE OF AN “OUTSIDE” KINDA GUY. (YOU CAN THANK LINDA FOR THE NEXT PHOTO. THE ONE I WASN’T GOING TO SHOW.)

AS ALWAYS, “THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.”
