surprised it's still open. we went to the ohio river bluffs near ripley (believe it or not) last week. i maneuvered several social distance passes. only old people were on the trails. i'm sure they saw us young people and shivered. they might have it. it was pretty tough to give anyone six feet there on that narrow path; a tumble here and there might hurt. spring flowers are all the rage at the ohio river bluffs. something called bluebells. the floor was littered with them. i wish i had some acid as every flower pulsed its fluttering blue. i was all, whoa. i had littlest one in the backpack and mother and other were a quarter mile behind stopping at every moment a flower happened along

nice meandering trail jogging along the bluffs. spring is also the best time to visit this portion of the arc of appalachia because of that view of the river. a majestic bend to the east loomed an island in the foreground. i wonder if that island was of any use to simon kenton and his enemies

buckeye abounds and i'm getting them mightily confused with paw paw. it's a loop trail and close to maysville/ augusta which are even prettier when there are no pandemics

There weren't many people when we were there (we went about 10amm and were done by 1pm). We saw other people at times but for the most part were all by ourselves, away from the world. It was great.

My buddy was telling me they re-opened the Cincinnati Nature Center outside Milford yesterday.

The Cincinnati Nature Center's website says they are still closed. The last update was 4/7 (2 days ago), but they don't update it that often. 4/7 was the first update since they closed everything on 3/23.

(I'm only posting this in case anyone decides to drive there to check it out)
