Absolutely awesome! Gary Sines made it! Gary just completed his journey across the state of Ohio for 326 miles on the Ohio to Erie Trail. He started at the Ohio River in Cincinnati and ended at Lake Erie in Cleveland.

He saw big cities like Cincinnati, Columbus, Akron and Cleveland to Ohio’s rural heartland with cities and towns like South Charleston, London, Mt Vernon, and Fredericksburg. Along this route you can re-live the history that shaped the state: Amish history, Revolutionary War history, Civil War history, canal history, and railroad history — it all happened along the OTET!

Congratulations Gary!

The Green Swamp Skunk Ape

Reports of the skunk ape were particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, there have been many sightings of a large, foul-smelling, hairy, ape-like creature, which ran upright on two legs in the Green Swamp area near Dade City, Florida.

Even so that several Big Foot research teams comes in the Green Swamp Wildlife Management Area in search of the creature.
