Weekend visit

That's me with Jack and Lucie, my godchildren, after hiking to the top of the hill to see the smoke signal pit. Lucie encountered a plant that left about 300 little bur-like seeds in her gangly mass of locks...but held still long enough for all of them to be removed.

Jack took advantage of Uncle Andy's shoulders for the last 200 feet of the trail to the top of the hill, and Lucie was on my shoulders for the hike down.

At the end of the day, Jack cried and didn't want to leave, but they were both fast asleep once Momma pulled the Jeep back out onto Wally Road and headed for Columbus. :)

Not too shabby a way to wake up in the morning...the mist and fog rise up from the Mohican River a few hundred feet beyond the inn. I estimate the elevation is about 200 feet above the river.

The top of the hill is about 600 feet above the river, so it is a nice hike and a good workout for your quads, and the views are worth the uphill walk...

Will need to clean the area up a bit but it is a genuine Native American smoke signal pit. In the Winter the view is magnificent down to both the Mohican River and the Lake Fork Tributary.
