Turkey Run State Park

This past week I was attending a Sustainability Workshop at Turkey Run State Park. It was a long week and now it feels great to finally be home. We were able to go to a lot of interesting places.

Turkey Run is famous for its trails. There are lots of canyons, waterfalls, and a really neat suspension bridge.



Here is Sunset Point. It gives you a perfect view of...well, what else?...a sunset!


We also made a trip to an Amish Farm...



Here are some pictures from Shades State Park which was just up the way from Turkey Run. You can't tell from this picture, but there is about a 50 foot drop to the left and right of me. We were on our way to climb Devil's Backbone.


Here I am with a couple of my colleagues from the Children's Museum - Sean and Michele. We made our way to the bottom of the canyon to a stream and looked for crinoid and brachiopod fossils and geodes! It was about 15 degrees cooler and quite a sight.


All in all, it was a really cool place and had a great time!
