American Discovery Trail: 1.999 Million Steps

 

I will pass two million steps sometime tomorrow morning, as I am just a few hundred steps short, and a little later will reach 900 miles walked, as that milestone is very close as well. Currently I am on the sixteenth segment of the American Discovery Trail, headed straight south toward the Ohio River, and in two days I should be within a mile of it. From there, it appears that I will follow the river, which is the southern border of Ohio, west almost all the way to Indiana.

The first sight this week is the Wickerham Tavern, a stop for runaway slaves on the Underground Railway.



The route takes us through Davis Memorial State Nature Preserve, home of dolomite cliffs and rock towers. I included a picture of each. I am going to call this one the cliffs.


And this one looks like a rock tower. Dolomite is a sedimentary rock made up of nearly equal amounts of calcium and magnesium. So says the Internet.
