Yep, that was the way it was back when. Almost every major highway went straight through every town, no bypasses.

Took a few this past weekend. Sunday was a nice late November day by Ohio standards, 50's, low wind & sunny, so headed down to the camp to mill around a bit. Some of the township & county roads in SE Ohio hill country are just gorgeous. With trees mostly bare now, you get a better long range view of the land, the elevation deltas, the hidden cabins. I can easily spend 2 hours and never get 20 miles from camp! Also put in a nice leisurely 6 mi. hike in the Hocking State Forest. Spent the better part of 10 minutes watching a pileated woodpecker go from tree to tree, sounding much like a jackhammer in the quiet forest. What a magnificent bird! Such a day is always a soul-cleansing "reset" to the normal hectic work day. So thankful to have such a place to escape to.

I remember going to Hocking Hills state park a few years ago with my family. Very nice walking there. :thumbsup:

Indeed, the Hocking Hills region offers some of the best hiking in the entire country. So many spectacular natural features. The state parks & preserves are all beautiful, but I find the state forest trails to be particularly satisfying. Much less crowded, with the freedom to go off-trail. I find new & amazing things every time I go, and I've been getting lost there for over 40 years.

I remember we were down in that parking lot and the car's compass wouldn't work and neither would the GPS. :laughing: Had to drive up out of there before we got signal.

Very pretty.
I'll think of this, the next time I refer to a Canadian road as "old"......

Traveling can be about checking and testing your perceptions......

Interesting point, about comparing exposure to commercial flying.
I suspect he knew it already...... he's got a keeper there !
