The Bridges of Ashtabula County

Many counties proclaim the wonders of their covered bridges, but Ashtabula County really embraces them. Each year they devote a weekend in October to a covered bridge festival. Their bridges are noteworthy since many are still open to regular traffic. This is one that remains open. We were in the area to hunt for a geocache placed by a friend, Rev. Mike. We found the cache and a peaceful moment exploring a wonderful piece of the past.

The Rookery

The Rookery is a park in the Geauga Park District. It is a favorite four seasons park for us and one of our favorite places for cross country skiing. This photo was taken in late December 2004 as we prepared to head out for a late afternoon ski.
