Here are a couple pix from yesterday at Standing Rock in Kent Ohio. This was a large Indian area centuries ago.. & many stories/folklore from the area. It is in a really really nice older cemetery & the Cuyahoga river towards the headwaters. I kayak here often & this was right across street from High School with Band show. This rock is IMMENSE for the area.. hard to tell from pix. When you are in kayak or inner tube next to it, the size is amazing. Our small group who attended the band show, did a mini tail gate here while dogs romped, swam & "did stick"
Band show was good. 6 HS plus Kent States band. One group had 72 musicians & 23 dancers..and the dancers were VERY VERY good.. My pix weren't that great & I asked another friend if his turned out to share.
Most often the dance squads (or flags team or majorettes) are smaller groups & fair at best. Often embarrassing to watch. These girls were skilled gymnasts, dancers & all gorgeous & gorgeous builds. Their routines were percision & they all smiled, laughed & you could tell were having a ball... From Kenston HS in NE Ohio


The only place I have noted this august blooming wild flower is the upper section around the Cuyahoga. Note the Standing Rock in background.
