Deer Lick Cave Trail, OH
February 2024

Where this project began, a free national park that taught me how much people shape a place.
The volunteers who keep a 1,400 mile trail connected across Ohio, one blaze and cleared log at a time.
A dam removal on the Cuyahoga River and the people affected by the restoration. Coming Fall 2026.
Kite surfers, mountain bikers, skaters, people met in passing rather than by appointment.
