Hi Earl, I really enjoyed reading about this National Park. I think National Parks are one of the best things that this country ever did. I've taken my son to Shenandoah and it was wonderful!!! We went spelunking! They have the most awesome caves there... not like the dinky things we get here in New England. That much farther south the ground is made of much different rock so they get these gigantic caverns! It's just amazing!

I really enjoyed reading about Pymatuning State Park. You did an excellent job describing it and its entertainment factor. One suggestion: I would reverse the third to the last paragraph with the second to the last paragraph. Again, enjoyed reading your work!

This sounds like it is straight off a travel magazine Earl. You should be writing your own travel blog. Who knows it might be lucrative.
Wishing you all the best in the contest.

This sounds like a place I would love. I like lakes and rivers more than seeing the ocean. There's something soothing about their waters. You should write for a travel magazine. You'd have everyone flocking to the places to showed them.

You did a great job detailing this super tourist area, Earl. Your informative contest entry should make most anyone wish to visit this place at any given time during the year. Yes, there is something for everyone. Your lines flow well, the facts/details support your opinions, and the picture is a great choice. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

This meets the contest requirements splendidly with a wonderful narrative of an intriguing tourist site in under 750 words. I was thoroughly engaged as I have never heard if it before. Your descriptive narrative wants one to hop in the car and go. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Thank you, Earl, for this great tourist information complete with historical information, too. I'm thankful for the WPA projects as we have several out here in the Pacific NW. Locally, we have a well built bridge.

"doesn't deter people" ( a lot of extra spaces follow)

Earl,

Wow. This sounds like an outdoor-lover's paradise. You did a super job describing the history of the park and surrounding area and then sharing the perks and joys to be found in the park itself. I think this is a great entry for the contest. Good luck!

I would much rather any day of the week, go to a lovely lake to spend time than to go to the ocean. This Park sounds like it would be a lovely place to visit.

What an arresting title, and the story delivered so much of interest. I'd love to visit that place, camping and enjoying simple pleasures of wildlife and physical activity. Also in the evening partaking of "caveman TV" - that's a novel way to describe just relaxing and watching the world go by. The details of history were very interesting and I learned a lot. Thanks for a well presented story.
