Year 2, Day 163. We were at the Burger Queen in Gonzales and I was trying to find a cell phone signal. We were in a cell phone blackout for about 50-60 miles.
Well, I've been out of St. John's for a couple of weeks now, and it has been longer still since I've been on a big photo walk. So I went for a big walk to Signal Hill and Quidi Vidi on my first day back in the city.
Note all the signalling, communications and safeworking system wiring snaking alonside the right of way climbing up the hill alongside where I was positioned for the pic. This was before there was any sort of electronic or computerised train control or communication systems.
From the sign:
"Trees with unusual shapes were often used by Indians as landmarks to identify important trails. This 300 year old Bur Oak (quercus macrocarpa) marked the northernmost point of the portage trail, which connected the Cuyahoga (whose coarse was once much closer to the tree) and Tuscarawas rivers. The Erie, Seneca, Shawnee, Ottawa, Delaware and Mingo tribes traveled to the Ohio River by this route. They removed their canoes from the Cuyahoga River here and carried them overland for eight miles--south to Summit Lake. Later, white settlers used the same signal tree to find their way between the rivers."
While Mom and I sat admiring this tree, a bald eagle circled high in the air above us. We watched until it flew off and became a dark speck in the clear blue sky.
Still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, Mom and I took a trip to Cuyahoga Valley to again see the fall color (sadly, not as extravagant as it could have been) and enjoy some time away from home.
