Long Vigorous Walks On Trails

We are currently what most would call "day hikers."  We began going for long walks several years ago, and ventured into the woods in 2012.  Our long vigorous walks on trails became an obsession...an obsession with the trail and the views we encounter along the way.  Hence, the recent expensive camera purchase.  As we age and learn how to explore nature around us, we are developing quite the desire to expand our hiking experience into longer overnight adventures.  Each weekend, we venture out.  This website is mostly for us, and for anyone who loves the experience of the trail, as well as the experience of that perfect photo opportunity you will find only by walking there.

This particular blog was started as we began our hiking adventures in 2012.  We have continued to trek the wilds over the months and years, but forgot along the way to write it all down.  Each adventure has been saved and recorded through photos, but it is time to begin writing again and recording our hiking experiences through the blog.  Now begins my commitment to record our hiking adventures once again.

You can also follow us and see our adventures at hikesnphotos.wordpress.com.

Willshire Quarry

Hiked .98 miles around the old Willshire Quarry in Willshire, Ohio. 

If I have learned anything about hiking it is to always watch where you are going. I almost stepped on a snake!

But you just never know how beautiful it is right near your own town.

Trail 5 all the way around the Park. It's just amazing to me how truly beautiful it is in the woods. It feels like you step into another world and leave the stresses of life behind.
