Elephants and Ants

Saturday, June 24, 2017

I completed a 5K Volksmarch today (June 24, 2017) here in Piqua, Ohio. We could choose from three trails - the River Trail, the Historic Trail or the Parks Trail. I chose the River Trail. It was beautiful weather and I had been very curious about following the trail along the Great Miami River. We just had a deluge of rain yesterday from Tropical Storm Cindy so the river level was just above the banks but not on the trail itself.
