GEOCACHING POTPOURRI--

Log House on a Rock:  This delightful exercise in minimalist living has been around far longer than it's counterparts now part of trendy architecture.  This sample is buried deep in Amish country near Trail, OH and we recently passed it in our caching travels.

Dundee Falls:  This is the larger of two waterfalls in Tuscarawas County that are undeveloped but are under the protection of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.  We discovered them because an Earthcache (geocache) has been created featuring their geology.  My partner, Sue, standing in the lower right background (above) adds perspective to the view.

We estimated this fall to be a about 30 feet tall while the very picturesque falls (below) were likely between 15 and 20 feet high.  Both are located on Dundee Wilmot Rd. NE, about 1/2 mile NW of Kohr Rd.  Each has a gravel parking area with ODNR signs visible.  There are well-worn trails to both falls but no directional signs.

   

Nature Being Natural:  An amusing sight during our day was this pair of cicadas (below) evidently discussing what comes naturally while I noticed the ant passing without comment.  They were found on the edge of a steel guardrail near where a geocache was located on our romp through Amish country.
