I hike every now and then with a few birding friends. I will try to put something together. It would be great to get a group together. I'm a pretty shy person, so it comes natural to me to hike by myself! As for Facebook.....I'm probably the last person on earth to "get" it. Actually...I just don't get it. I'll try to start posting my blog posts to Facebook. People have asked me to push the posts to Facebook, so I'll give it a try.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-67538248888236741012012-04-11T16:17:37.381-04:002012-04-11T16:17:37.381-04:00these turtles are amazing to see!

They look like little crocodiles.<br /><br />Kelly, you got me poking through my collection of maps (a distraction I love) to find Ohio and the Little Miami River. Growing up in suburban Cincinnati, my only river memory is of the Ohio. I had no idea that there would be such a thing as the Clifton Gorge. I looked it up online and realized that I would love to spend time hiking around there. Thanks for opening up this whole new world to me!Mary Ann Gieszelmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402772229758200126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-14510884423070396542012-04-09T22:03:17.316-04:002012-04-09T22:03:17.316-04:00Wonderful photos!

Perhaps you prefer to be able to be a silent visitor where you walk, but once in a while I think it would be great to have a few folks go along and look through your eyes. <br /><br />Just a thought.
