Burr Oak State Park
I haven't been regaling
our blog readers with the fun activities we've taken advantage of
recently, which doesn't mean we haven't been enjoying ourselves. Every
Sunday, Mark and I are hitting each other with swords at fencing class.
We visited (and learned about) the local Grange last week. And, on
Saturday, Jenn met
me at Burr Oak State Park for their annual winter hike event.
I was astonished by the
turnout --- literally hundreds of people spread across four hikes. Jenn
and I chose the five-miler and hung back so I could snag photos of
beauties along the trail.
We also got to talk to
one of the Buckeye Trail Association volunteers while we walked. He's
been experimenting with growing things on reclaimed strip mine land for
the last seven years and I'm hoping to tease a guest post out of him on
the subject. So stay tuned!

Beautiful pictures. I enjoyed our hike and look forward to doing it again. And while I didn't chat much it was interesting to hear about him and his plans. You could tell he is passionate about what he is doing and wants to do.
JenW!
