One of the fellows I went with had relatives across the road from the river and got permission from them originally. Never caught a lot but the sleeping was good and the bacon and fried ants were excellent each morning, not to mention boiled coffee.<br /><br />Those were the days.<br /><br />Lots of history down there. I never felt I was really alone in the Shawnee State Forest either, but the original was logged out a long time ago and whats there now is relatively new stuff but still there were some might big trees there. I used to drive a four door green Corvair (the only one and the first one sold in Darke County).<br /><br />Living is so difficult these days.<br />The cost of breathing is high.<br />When I think how it used to be<br />I think I'm gonna cry.<br /><br />Abraham Lincoln<br /><a href="http://mybirdsblog.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Birds Blog</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-27597664383161646972010-06-01T15:41:03.219-04:002010-06-01T15:41:03.219-04:00Robin, wow, the story of the nun is absolutely bon...Robin, wow, the story of the nun is absolutely bone chilling!

I have always been drawn to Indian history, art, dancing... they did (and still do) have a real grasp on life, the world, the past, the future...<br /><br />I do believe in Ghosts....once, when I was about 10, I was walking home from school with a girlfriend....we passed a high hill overlooking Lone Mountain College (now a part of USF)....we were way below, but something made me look up - and I CLEARLY saw the fugure of a Nun (in an old-fashioned habit), looking down over the hill at us..... my hair stood on end - something about this Nun made me more sad than afraid....but, it was still chilling. I remember my girlfriend and I both ran home.... when I told my Mum, she laughed it off and said it was my overly-active imagination. Several years later, when I was actually attending USF, I learned that a Nun had killed herself by jumping off that very hill - and her "spirit" had been often seen by many people.. my Mum was still living - and I think, for the first time, she believed what I seen so long ago.<br /><br />Had to share this with you.... we must be kind to those Spirits who still visit us.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />♥ Robin ♥Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247046205493711677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-75429376032620026852010-06-01T14:42:38.833-04:002010-06-01T14:42:38.833-04:00What a wonderful post!

The village was known as Maquaqua and was located on the banks of the Detroit river, which is where downtown Wyandotte is now. There is a totem pole in town with a turtle at the top because the chief of the Wyandots was called Walk-in-the-water. They probably moved to Ohio when they were kicked out of Michigan.
