The National Road, in many places known as Route 40, was built between 1811 and 1834 to reach the western settlements. So let’s go Honkin’ Down the Highway with the Beach Boys as we visit Clifton Mill and Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve.
Taking the National Road RD. 40 West out of Columbus,Ohio to Springfield then Rt. #72 (Simon Kenton Trace) South to Clifton,Ohio.
First stop is Clifton Mill because I’m hungry. (imagine that)
Good thing I don’t need gas..The station is closed. I’ll just head over to the Mill.
Upcoming events at the Mill; Their famous Christmas Lights display.. The young men in the next photo are putting lights on the cliff opposite the Mill.
Moving on down the road to: ( My first visit here but it won’t be my last )
This is the land of Simon Kenton,Chief Logan,George Rogers Clark,Simon Girty and Tecumseh to name a few. Sit back and enjoy your armchair photo hike.
Can you see the three sections of rock?
CLICK to learn about Rosalie and Wiley the Hermit. Is the Stagecoach trail really HAUNTED?
I think I’ll take a look at the bridge and then turn back
Heading back.
I’m back at the Mill now. It’s time to get some “coffee to go” and head back to Lancaster. Appreciate you stopping by.
On October 26th 2010:: Officially six tornadoes touched down in the state of Ohio. If you live in Lancaster,Ohio the best view would be from Mount Pleasant.. I’ll share some photos from that day.
When these photos were taken the storm warning sirens in Lancaster,Ohio were blaring.
First photo,I’m heading to the top of Mount Pleasant
Next a series of photos taken from the top of Mount Pleasant showing the city of Lancaster as the storm approached. Thank goodness there was no tornado in Lancaster but we did have some strong in-line winds and a lot of rain.
At this point I’m getting ready to get off Mount Pleasant. There were two other (NUTS) up there besides myself. Two of us left and the other fellow stayed. (He had a camera LOL)
Really getting windy and starting to rain. There is a cave about thirty seconds from where I’m standing that offered protection from wind/rain.
