Hippie Town Ohio
“This place has true beauty, and I am from Montana, so I know what beauty is,” said a woman who was hiking with her young son in Glen Helen Park in Yellow Springs, Ohio. We waited for her to pass as she stepped off a wooden bridge spanning a rocky stream that twisted around overgrown […]
