A walk in the woods

One of the best things about Dayton has been the great parks. There are over 25 in the area. We only made it to three so far but the one I like the best so far is Sugar Creek. Eric loves that the parks have such a dense forest and that the parks aren't all perfectly manicured.

This tree is over 500 years old. It is one of the Three Sisters. I am the small orange speck next to the three. The second sister tree is over my shoulder and the third actually fell over in a wind storm but they have left it there. You can hike down and see into the tree.

This the other part that this park is known for. There is a huge line of trees that were planted to be a fence for a farm back when Ohio was the edge of civilization. It is a really pretty hike that takes about thirty minutes. The only problem was that is was ridiculously hot and muggy. It was a good work out and a very pretty walk.
