Falls of the Ohio State Park Movie

Last August, Falls of Ohio State Park was briefly considered during the early part of our van camping "Northern Adventure".  But time and circumstances just didn't work out.

This seems to be a well-produced movie.  (Admittedly, I don't know enough about the local geology to hear any errors.)

[In the park, fossil collecting is strictly prohibited, at the risk of arrest.  If you do some advance preparation, there might be some nearby places where you can collect legally.]

Ohio Rocks - Geology, Ice Age Features, Fossils, and Resources

Ohio is a state through which I have passed several times, initially in 1974, but I haven't spent much time there, other than visiting the Hudepohl and Schoenling breweries in Cincinnati in 1981 and 1982. 

After our van's minor breakdown in Cincinnati afternoon traffic during our August 2021 trip, we stayed the night in Sharon, OH on the north side of Cincinnati, but left out for Michigan as soon as repairs were complete.

That being the case, no slight was intended towards the state, it has just been "in-between" our starting point and our destination on numerous journeys, as have been Alabama and Mississippi (except for Civil War sites in Corinth and Vicksburg during the Spring 2021 van "shakedown cruise" and a 2015 stop at a loess outcrop in Vicksburg).

So today's and tomorrow's videos are for my own learning, in the hopes of being able to visit any geological sites if we are able to make another Michigan trip next year (to visit my wife's hometown of Traverse City).  This year we were constrained by needing to make a family reunion in Traverse City and other than visiting Frankenmuth, MI there were no other stops planned.

A Few Days in Ohio ...

Figuratively speaking, studying Geology and other Earth Science-related subjects by way of posts, videos, and links.

In my past travels (including August 2021), I have crisscrossed Ohio, but I don't think I have ever spent the night there.  It was one of those un-visited, in-between places between home and a further destination.  

As with other subjects, as personal schedules don't allow for as much planning and writing as I would like, the choice of Ohio (for a few days) was a spirit-of-the-moment thing.  But it does serve the purpose of giving me (and my wife) ideas for possible future van camping travels.

At the moment, I can think of no "Bucket List" items in Ohio, perhaps because I don't know the state well enough.  Perhaps as a place to photograph some Glacial Features and maybe pan for some "glacial placer" gold.
