Structures

The industrious folks that populated and thrived in the Ohio River Valley were incredible craftsmen undaunted by the numerous obstacles the area presented, whether it was forests, rocks or streams...some of their handiwork that has lasted over a century.

Note that the barn door curves with the round side of the barn!!

We came upon this old bridge while grouse hunting in southern Ohio ... old road to somewhere, I suppose.  Not to Grouseville, though...

The hills between Ohio and Pennsylvania were rich in limestone, iron ore, and timber, the three ingredients mixed together in the 65 furnaces built across the region where the timber was used to make charcoal which was used in the limestone furnaces to melt the iron ore into slabs known as "pigs" which were then shipped to manufacturing centers in Cleveland, etc.

And of course, there are numerous Amish in the region, even at Wally-world.  Sophia got a big kick out of cart parking!
