September 12 - Krieger Center

Starting Weather: Partly Cloudy 71° 
Ending Weather: Partly Cloudy 72°
Distance Covered:  1.07 mile
Time: 4:02 PM - 4:55 PM
Next stop:  Krieger Visitor Center, located in the Ohio and Erie Canalway Reservation, within the Cleveland Metroparks.  This location has an indoor center with nature displays, photographs taken in the area, and a gift shop with lots of books and snacks.  We love it here!  After a stop inside, we went out on the trail for awhile.   This is one of the northernmost trailheads of the Towpath Trail at this point - a mere seven miles from Lake Erie, as noted on the mile marker.  There's a small wetland area tucked behind the trail, and there was a Great Blue Heron and a Green Heron enjoying the area when I walked up to it.  The trestle bridge is always an amazing sight, and we got to see a train run across.  We didn't stay long; decided to head back to Stark County and have supper at Cracker Barrel, since today is Kay's birthday.  Happy Birthday, Kay!
