DISCOVER OHIO “THE WAHKEENA NATURE PRESERVE”

WAHKEENA NATURE PRESERVE IN THE HOCKING HILLS NEAR LANCASTER,OHIO

This is a Scenic Sunday Post Click on this link and discover the world.

Wahkeena Preserve
2200 Pump Station Road
Sugar Grove, OH 43155 Sometimes one misses what is closest to home. This was my first time to visit Wahkeena.

Several Hiking Trails and a Nature Center

My kind of place but guess who lives in the quiet area.

Next a stop inside the Nature Center

In closing I would like to mention two things:

1. To learn a little more about Wahkeena check out BEING A HOMETOWN TOURIST BY Kathy Kirk.

2. With the government cutbacks Wahkeena could use our help. If you're interested in helping support the Wahkeena Nature Preserve on a local or personal level, you can contact Mr. Shisler at 740-746-8695 or 1-800-297-1883 (toll free). Mr. Shisler is the naturalist for Wahkeena.

What I like to do best is take a nap out in the woods and this is the spot. (other than eating)

THANKS FOR VISITING JOE TODD

QUICK VISIT TO THE NORTH MARKET COLUMBUS,OHIO

Just north of Vine St. you will find the North Market. I found it to be a great place to explore and have a great lunch.

I recently visit Julie's blog and had a chance to visit Pikes Market in Seattle via the internet and thought, “there is a market in Columbus,Ohio.” ( I will get to Pikes Market in person)

You can follow what’s going on at the market on Twitter,Facebook, or their very own Blog .

I arrived just after they opened and was surprised to find several bicycles in the parking lot. Actually, there were more bicycles than cars to start with.

All around the market are some great places to eat. I have yet to check them all out but will make it a priority.

Leaving the North Market behind and heading south on High Street I find myself in downtown Columbus.

Next stop German Village but that will be another post.

TROUT FISHING GENESSE RIVER WELLSVILLE NEW YORK NEAR ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST

Linda and I are back from New York and we had a great time. In the next couple days hope to get caught up with all my blogging friends.

That’s me on the left and Chuck on the right and we are getting ready to do a little fishing. Chuck lives near Wellsville and the Genesee River is only about 100 ft. behind his house.

There had been a lot of rain so the river was relatively high ( and cold ) and not as clear as usual. After a couple hours of fishing the score was Chuck four Todd zero. Chuck caught three trout and one smallmouth bass.

Linda had a great time to. She met some new bears.
