The Adena tribe of Native americcans is believed to have built this as a burial mound. It is also believed that it was used to to predict seasons and other events. There are signs along its length to show where things like the sunmer solstice are.
These babies were swimming on Rocky Fork lake. I stayed at the state park and my site was just up the hill from this view.

Next, I traveled north to visit an area I had never taken the time to do - Amish country. This area actually has the largest population of Amish people in the US. I've visited Lancaster PA and was fascinated by the differences between there and OH. I went for a buggy ride in this one . My driver's name was Henry
