  • Some kind of major event required the US Border Patrol to be out in force on the Metroparks Rd. near Snow Rd. on January 21st. At the time of printing, it was still not entirely clear as to just what occurred that day.

  • A tow truck prepares to take away the vehicle involved during the incident involving the US Border Patrol on the Metroparks Rd. near Snow Rd. on January 22nd.

  • The pavilion at Snow Rd. Picnic area in the Metroparks was built by the WPA in 1937. I can't help but think of the debate currently in our country about the wisdom of using tax dollars to create jobs by infrastructure construction projects; this wonderful structure was built in the midst of the Great Depression, and we are still enjoying the use of it 75 years later. What do you think?

  • One of the beautiful views of the scenery around the Big Creek in the Metroparks around the Snow Rd. Picnic Area.

  • A vintage photo showing work being done on Snow Rd. during construction by the WPA

  • Another WPA construction photo; when I look at this, I am fairly sure of exactly the spot where these men were working at.

  • With much lighter snowfall than usual this winter, you've got to grab some sledding whenever and wherever you can.
