The last time we were at Oil Creek State Park, there was snow. This time, it was sunny and hitting the upper 60's. As you can see, there used to be RR tracks running through here. So much of this area had extensive railroad tracks from the oil days, but many have been transformed into fantastic paths through pristine parks. If you look carefully, you can see some derricks through the bridge. For the Canton readers - the name on them is Belden and Blake.
How can you resist this? The paths are paved and great for bikes, which we'll try the next time. This time, Mr. Rhett Butler stepped out with us. John wisely read the warnings about not handling the snakes, which are not poisonous, but do bite.
As if.
There are some leftovers from the oil era, which is really pretty interesting. It's hard for me to imagine this area covered in derricks and stripped of trees. It's so incredibly beautiful. Rhett! Don't look for snakes, they bite!
Gratuitous picture of Oil Creek Park and one of me.
You can see the quality of that path - great for bikes and walking.
