Paul Krohn's Virtual Tour - August 29 2020

In these incredibly difficult and trying times I do what I have always done best in my attempts to de- stress. I go out and commune with nature in the best way that I know how. I hike. I explore. I observe. I take in as much as I can.

Today I went to the Lockport Nature Trail just North of the city of Lockport on the South side of Slayton Settlement Road just below the Niagara Escarpment. It is a very easily accessible place with ample parking near the road and a network of very well maintained trails.

Gratwick Park on the Niagara River before I have to go to work today. Beautiful day. Back in High School everyone used to go here to hang out. You would drive along the pavement and wonder why it had dips about a foot or two deep every few feet or so.
