Almost Uneventful - Day 85

  The day was nearly uneventful, and we are just fine with that. Lots of nice hillside scenes. ohio hillside with farm ohio hillside with farm

We are still seeing rock faces from time to time. This one caught my eye- someone left their dinner? frying pan in a rock wall

The only event of the day was that a road ford was not even remotely crossable. flooded road ford

But it didn't matter a bit because Carl was with us, and he just picked us up and drove around a different way to the other side where we started hiking again. flooded road ford

We decided to hike a little extra today. This took us part way out a beautiful road with a former railroad bridge across the West Fork of Duck Creek. It was Conrail, but certainly some older line before that. I believe Pennsylvania Railroad. The bridge appears to now be just part of the farm lane. railroad bridge on farm

We are tired, but it's all good.

Miles today: 18.6. Total miles so far: 1088.6

Beautiful picture of the bridge and farm. As always, thank you for sharing your day with us.

We talked to the farm owner, he bought the bridge for $1 from the railroad.
