Eagle Scout Project This wonderful hiking trail is in Ferdinand State Forest, Indiana.
There were not many people hiking here this day as it was a tad chilly. We had a great walk and David hit some golf balls. He hit 16 and picked 16 up. Beautiful day.

Interestingly enough, immediately adjacent to this trail there is a random trash dumping ground complete with GE Refrigerator doors (along with the ice maker), a filing cabinet and some chicken wire. I can understand the frustration with the refrigerator and ice maker.

The Eagle Scouts (and the Blessinger family) have made enormous contributions to this park and countless others, clearing and marking trails for other to follow. We enjoyed this one very much - thank you, Brian!

Christ the Redeemer on the Ohio Move over, Rio de Janeiro. There is a big statue of Christ, with arms outstretched, here too. Most Indianans and Kentuckians have no idea that this statue exists. The figure rises above an Indiana hill, which overlooks a sparsely populated area of the Ohio River. On the other side of the river is the Kentucky shoreline.

Although I wish it were facing my camera with the river at its back, the Christ statue understandably faces crewmen of passing riverboats. No riverboats were passing or even on the horizon when I visited.

Lincoln was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth Many of our U.S. presidents have come from wealthy and famous families. But not Abraham Lincoln. His parents struggled to survive and were largely unknown.

This is Abraham Lincoln's family homestead in Indiana when he was a teenager. When Abraham was nine, his mother Nancy died of food poisoning (milk sickness from when cows eat white snakeroot plant and pass its poison through their milk). Nancy Lincoln's tombstone is on this property.
