We participated in the Echo Hills camp out in August. Roger and I actually camped in the tent overnight while the others chose to hike home.

Part of the camp out was watching an outdoor movie in the playground area.

And there had to be a campfire.

Glen and I hiked along the towpath near Peninsula. THis is the Cuyahoga River.

These birds were perched on the train tracks...
