Shades State Park: The ravines

I decided to try a different state park besides Turkey Run. I visited Shades State Park. It is very near Turkey Run. They are about ten miles apart. A person could go to one during the Golden Hour in the morning, hike a few hours, then vistit the other park in the evening Golden Hour. Sounds like a plan to me! Throw in some camping and have the perfect weekend.

I hiked there about 6 - 7 hours and still missed almost half the park. So I will need to go back soon to try the other trails. The trails I followed went up and down some ravines. Most of the ravine floor was loose flat rocks that also had water running down them to varraing degrees. Most of the trails were rated "Rugged". I probably should have been wearing my boots to support my ankles. But no, I wasn't. I was wearing my sandles. It turned out OK this time. I have been avoiding wearing my boots. They are in very bad shape. I will need to replace them before winter.

Anyway, I took enough photo's that will need share them over multiple posts.
