With minimal travel we had a weekend hiking close to home that gave a few photo ops of downtown Columbus, as well as nearby Licking County.


The trip to Licking County included a hike in Blackhand Gorge Park. Named for a (now long gone) Native American petroglyph the hike goes through a small ravine along a creek. The sandstone cliffs have a variety of vegetation growing on them.





The rest of the afternoon was spent wandering the backroads of the county.



We came across this fantastic abandoned schoolhouse. As I approached for a closer look the bird came flying out adding to the excitement.
