Left Paul & Suzie's after breakfast and took the backroads back to the campground . When we got back into the Mohican State Park area we found a little stone shrine on a hill overlooking the forest. Very quiet and peaceful. We stopped and found that it was a memorial to all of the lost veterans from WWII on from Ohio. There were 26,000 names listed in several 3 ring binders. The stone building had glass cases with different military momentos and the outside had a couple granite benches. It was a very moving.
We moved on and found an overlook to a gorge in the Mohican Forest. We walked down a path to a viewing platform. We were about 200 feet over the gorge. There were a large number of hawks circling and eventually they came closer and closer to the platform. They were at our eye level and it was a feeling that is hard to describe. They were flying so close we could see their eyes! We felt like we were flying with them. It was awesome.
We are finding that we really like the state parks more than the private campgrounds. The sites are bigger, and they aren't as commercial. There are hiking and bike trails that start right in the park, great boat launches and some even have canoe livery. Most of the restrooms and showers are pretty modern.
We had a fire tonight and naturally the camp firewood is still wet from last weeks rain. Oh well we had a smoky one anyway.
