This cache is just over the line in Coshocton County, and is near my childhood home. I wanted to share this place as one can still see the ravages of (unreclaimed) coal strip mining from 80+ years ago. This lake is too acidic for anything to live in with the runoff from the strip mines. On the far side of the lake, steep slopes of shale and rock are still visible to this day. Over the years, a stubborn tree was able to take hold here and there, and today there is the tiniest amount of top soil in places supporting some vegetation. Though the deep cuts in the earth remain here and in the area surrounding. I think it is important to keep sharing the story of living with the aftermaths of strip mining, and showing the devastation of how things were.
