Our camping trip to Shawnee State Park in West Portsmouth, Ohio from Sunday through Wednesday, July 9-12, 2023. As always, we enjoyed the kayaking, fishing, hiking and biking through the park. We visited the Shawnee State Park Lodge, enjoying the historical information and artwork scattered throughout the lodge. Joe was especially drawn to the painting of Shawnee Chief Blackfish, who captured and befriended Daniel Boone, Joe's 5th great-grandfather! If there's ever anything you want to know about Daniel Boone, Joe is your man - I think he's read every book ever published on him, lol!
We also visited the city of Portsmouth, about 20 minutes from the state park. We were mesmerized by the beautiful murals painted on the floodwall along the Scioto River. There are 60 murals depicting 200 years of history of the town, all painted by the same talented artist. The murals are 20 feet high and extend for 2,000 feet, several blocks long. They are beautiful, and a wonderful testament to history of the town and what it is known for. There is a lot of information about the murals on the internet, and an mobile app called Portsmouth Murals that can be downloaded for a total video and audio immersion into each mural. But seeing it in person is truly an amazing experience! The quaint shopping area of the town is also very nice.
We hope you enjoy this video, and we thank you for sharing our camping journey!
