Yesterday afternoon Greg and I went to Grigg's Dam along the Scioto River. The picture above is from a previous visit. When we went yesterday the water was rushing over the dam and creating big piles of foam along the rocks. The river had flooded and there were signs warning of high water. One picnic shelter was even under a few inches of water. There was a lot of driftwood along the road where the water had risen. After looking at the dam we walked into the woods. It is a great time of year to explore the woods because everything is dormant and there aren't any bugs. I was excited to see lots of wild onions or chives growing in the woods! That is a sure sign of spring. I also saw a weird type of mushroom growing. We found some big old pieces of steel out there and some large concrete pipes. When we decided to leave the wooded area it was extremely muddy. On the way back to the truck we watched the geese and ducks dig around the edge of the river for food. It was really nice to be outside again on such a perfect day. It is supposed to be rainy for a few days so it is nice that we can take advantage of the good weather when it comes along.
