Willow Park Harrison, Ohio 8/1/2023

A short 0.9 mile loop walk near the Whitewater River.  Some noise from the ATV park nearby, but a nice, short, flat walk with only about 7 feet of elevation gain over the 0.9 mile distance.

Green Heron Park Butler County, Ohio 7/30/2023

A short 1.1 mile hike over the weekend.  Much of the info on this is in the video that I posted to YouTube that explains the different locations from the park map.

Restarting this blog

I am restarting this blog after a long abscence. I hope to share some short hikes and info as the year continues.

Night Sky Exploration and Hike at Governor Bebb Metropark

This sounds like an interesting evening. I thought I would share the information here. With the Perseid meteor shower being active this weekend, the MetroParks of Butler County here in Ohio is sponsoring a fun event. It is an opportunity to hike at night and enjoy viewing the meteor shower. If there is any interest, you can check out the information here: http://reservations.yourmetroparks.net/programs/996/

Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork I just received my Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork trekking poles, and I am excited to try them out soon. I have never been a user of trekking poles in my younger years, but I recently decided to give them a try since I recently had a totally left hip replacement, and I am looking forward to having the right hip done also in the near future. The new hip feels great, but I thought the poles could offer me some added stability as well as help reduce some wear and tear on the knees and hips. I will report back when I get some more experience with this new set.

Hope to get back to updating this blog. Since Posterous is no more, many of my photo links are now gone. I will need to work on a whole new re do of this....
