First hiking trail of the day...
Ohio & Erie Canal System - Lock 38
Very cool system to haul goods by canal boats with mules pulling them down the canal.

Here is a little crevice I was checking out. I had to use my camera phone flash to see.
I start to take pictures inside and poke my head down inside this area...(if you look close enough on the top you'll see some white round things...)
I realize that this crevice is full of big spiders that have many egg sacs all around me. I take a quick picture and rush out. I was flipping out and shaking to make sure none were on me!
Walkway at the end of the Ledges Trail
Can you believe this is in Ohio and not some jungle?
