A piece of ohio worth exploring!

The bridge of dreams!

Now ive been through this area a fair amount, usually passing under the bridge on my motorcycle. Admiring from below.

Ive never made the chance to explore it. Its worth it. The area was bustling on this particular day. Horse rides on the trail were happening, walker, bicyclist, boaters in the water. It had everything going on.

Spanning 370 feet over the mohican river, its just beautiful. The name suits it.

The history of it seems obscured. The trail itself was a railway for the Pennsylvania railroad corridor. The bridge structure seems to date from 1924 or 1944 with the covered bridge portion being part of the trail project completed in 1998.

The mohican valley trail span 4.5 miles ones way between brickhaven and glenmont. It sure to be a return trip with the bicycles.

Sometimes the best adventures aren't the ones that take you hundreds of miles away. Sometimes you can find them in your back yard

Let them ride untill their legs hurt!

Its ok for them to struggle.

They earn something in the struggle.

They're learning how to keep going when things get hard.

One day these hills will be harder to climb and you wont be there and they wont give up because you didnt give up and they saw that.

Stay wild!

Remember when we did that?

When children came about i thought traveling would come to a screeching halt.
It would be to challenging to take a child anywhere. They require so much WORK.

But we did it. We challenged ourselves. We packed the extra bag. The extra food, the diapers, the clothes. The everything!

We did it. Through the tantrums, through the naps. Changing clothes, diapers, 7 different favorite cups that you better not forget.

Then we decided to have another and I thought. All that, times two? No way. Thats insanity.

But we did it. We packed another bag, more snacks, extra shoes. Favorite toys, favorite socks, favorite hats, we took on the challenge again. Insanity?

Silent car rides turned into survival. Toys are dropped, cups run dry, look out your window not mine. Everything is urgent, everything is life or death. Dropped that toy, mom in the back seat. Ass up. Gotta p*e for the 3rd time in 30 miles. Dad has to find the spot.

But inbetween the tantrums and randoms.
There are smiles, laughes, eyes so bright you have to wear shades just to look at them

Because you're not just showing them places. You're teaching them how to live.

Take them somewhere they've never been.

Take them down roads they don't recognize. Let them sleep in a tent. Let them get dirty. Let them hike until their legs are tired. Let them stand at the edge of a mountain, beside a waterfall, or on a beach they've only ever seen in pictures.

They are learning.

They are learning that the world is bigger than home. The cultures, the landscapes, the people.

They learned how to adapt to the hot days, cold nignts, the rain, they embraced it. They built confidence from it.

They learn to appreciate what they have seeing what others dont.

The family bond it creates is unmatched.

It teaches them that adventure doesn't have to wait. You don't need to be rich, retired, or have everything perfectly planned. Sometimes you just load the vehicle and go.

Kids dont stay kids forever.
They wont remember everything.
But when they say.

Remember when we did ________?

It will all be worth it.

Malabar farms from mount jeez.

Malabar farms is a interesting state park.
A massive 900 acre working farm, home of agricultural experiment of louis bromfield pulitzer prize winning author. He was heavily involved in sustainable farming. By the time he bought this land it was at the end of its usefulness and no other farmer would touch it.

Theres a massive thirty two room house on the property that you can tour

There also the creepy ceely rose house.

In 1896, 23-year-old Celia “Ceely” Rose lived there with her parents and brother. Her father operated the nearby Schrack gristmill. According to the historical record, Ceely poisoned her father, brother, and later her mother with rat poison, killing all three. She eventually confessed and was found not guilty by reason of insanity, spending the rest of her life in a state hospital

The pugh cabin

Built in 1938

Built by jim Pugh. A self taught builder and investor.

The cabin built from decommissioned utility poles.

Connected to the shawshank redemption movie
The cabin was used as the filming location for the scene where Red finds Andy Dufresne's letter and money hidden beneath the oak tree near the end of The Shawshank Redemption.

Malabar farms was great to visit and offered alot.

Stay wild!

Time is the only commodity we can' t earn more of.

Go somewhere, get lost. Have the adventure. You can earn more of anything in this world.

But TIME.

We live without ever LIVING.

Take the TIME

The perfect time to do it is the time you make.

The Wolf Creek Grist Mill is a restored 1830s water-powered mill and historic park located inside Mohican State Park. It was built in 1831 by Isaac Meanor on land leased from War of 1812 veteran, Isaac Wolf. Hence the name reference of the mill. It was saved from demo in the late 1990s and moved to its current location. Each board was numbered and reassembled accordingly.
We received a lot of useful knowledge from the volunteer pictured (sorry I forgot his name!) He was fantastic 👏🏻 and kept the kids engaged in the history he was telling.
The area also has a .75 mile loop behind the mill to an observation deck (not pictured)
On the other side sits a cabin where you can get refreshments and the people there are wonderful as well.

I (Brittany) am usually the one behind the camera 📷 and don't post much, but I am going to start sharing more of the pictures I love taking and this was a great adventure at Mohican State Park.
We tackled the Gorge Overlook Trail to see the swinging bridge... not knowing that there would be signs for dangerous cliffs and an unexpected ladder to climb down, but these two rocked it out with us 💪🏻
2.5 mile loop of curves and "gradual inclines"
Some caution is needed for this trail, but it is well worth the hike!

If you would like more information on this amazingly beautiful trial, here is the link: https://trekohio.com/2021/10/06/mohican-state-park-gorge-overlook-trail-and-swinging-bridge/

In the meantime, stay wild!

You cant start off a adventure on a empty stomach. So before heading north we stopped in to fresh off the farm llc in scio, ohio for some breakfast. Food was great and the prices were even better. We fed a family of 4 for 35.00. After breakfast a few buildings down the street you can find the main street bakery with fresh pastries for any one to enjoy.

This town has alot to offer. Several places to eat on the same street "The restaurant", Fresh off the farm llc , theres a pub and pangrazios pizza, spaghetti and B&F ice cream shop on the back corner of the town. The conotton creek bike trail. Stretches through the town next to the rail road tracks. Looks like more shops will be opening in the old buildings as well bringing some new life in.

Stay wild!
