American Discovery Trail: Near Shawnee, Ohio

The month of February was nothing to get too excited about, as I walked less than 100 miles. In a good month, I can do 150. Nevertheless, I moved from West Virginia to Ohio and passed 1.5 million steps.

We are still south and east of Columbus, same as last time I posted, but maybe by next week Columbus will be behind us.

This week took me to Burr Oak State Park, which has a lake and a nice large lodge, pictured here. Then it's on to Tom Jenkins Dam, Wayne National Forest, and Tecumseh Lake just south of Shawnee.

The Tom Jenkins Dam, which turned Sunday Creek into Burr Oak Lake, the main feature of Burr Oak State Park.

Wayne National Forest is named for General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a Revolutionary War general.

We end this week near Tecumseh Lake. This picture probably shows most of the lake, which is only about 1,000 feet long and a few hundred feet wide.

For a little perspective, I am now west (and well south) of Akron, Ohio, where I lived until I was seven, and west of Cleveland, though still a little east of Mansfield, where we lived for a year before moving to California in 1966.
