Cindy the Naturalist
Playing in the mud and water
We have enjoyed this past week playing with friends Mike and Cindy Smith in the lovely town of Mogadore, just a little south east of Akron. One of our fun outings consisted of paddling canoes 6 miles down the Tuscarawas River from Canal Fulton, then riding bikes back along the tow path. This area is part of the Ohio Erie system. As you can see, this part is still in use as a tourist attraction. One day we joined Cindy at West Branch State Park where she works as the naturalist. On our hike she informed us of various uses for some of the plants and trees. The hike ended at the edge of the lake to look for crystals that form in the mud there. Tomorrow is moving day, so look for more fun times ahead!
Enough for now,
Louise and Duane
