Ohio Brush Creek - Day 58

  The place we are staying, at MoonDoggie-Liveree, is on Ohio Brush Creek. This is one of the larger tributaries of the Ohio River in western Ohio. In season, you can rent canoes and kayaks here, or rent their lodge. It's great for hikers- not too fancy, but it has the amenities like a nice shower and a kitchen. Moondoggie liveree

Brush Creek passes right by the livery, of course. Nikki (center) and Jamie (left) are our hosts. And we have stayed here a long time because they are so centrally located for this portion of trail. friends

Nikki has arranged a number of special opportunities for us- like the private tour of Serpent Mound. Speaking of Serpent Mound- Ohio Brush Creek also flows past it. And today, we were finally far enough that we walked through there as part of the hike. The Creek almost looks bigger there although it is far upstream from Nikki's. Ohio Brush Creek

This evening we were treated to dinner at The Landing at Brush Creek which is right across the water from Nikki's. Of course we had to drive around on a road. dinner table

Here we are with owners Sherry and Kirk. Today was Bill's last day with us. We've sure enjoyed having him along. friends

Bonus section: Gentle Hills

Today, we walked over gentle hills with the pointy peaks to our south. We have reached the area that was glaciated by the Illinois Ice Age (100 to 130,000 years ago). We didn't mind the rolling terrain at all. rolling Ohio hills

Miles today: 15.1. Total miles so far: 824.7.
