North Turkey Foot State Park, Ohio

I stopped at this state park because I thought this was where we would be camping for the night. After a day of trying to find a place to plug in and get some work done with no luck and no internet I decided I would head to the camp site and just do some reading. After nearly missing the turn off and speeding into the parking area, I was there, looking into a very dense unkempt park. I thought to myself that it would get better and if nothing else I would get to sit next to the river and read for a bit. Turns out I was wrong on both accounts. The trails were so overrun that sometimes you weren’t sure if you were even still on a trail, mosquitos pretty much ate me alive and there was no river access. Oh and did I mention the bridge surrounded by caution tape! Though this was not an ideal trail and without bug spray I would be bloodless in 15 minutes I felt like I was traversing through a forest and it was definitely an adventure! The thing that made the expedition through evil turkey park was that while walking fox run path and met the owner of the trail, a furry fox not more than 5 feet away. I asked if I could pet him but he just ran off, that was the point in which I was afraid the park was making me go insane, and so it was time to head out. I found this lone building being reclaimed by the surrounding foliage just before exiting the park. I thought it a fitting tribute to a park with no maintenance.
