Highbanks Metro Park - Columbus, Ohio Lisa: Love this vid. This is my favorite kind. I have books like backroads of Texas and Kentucky. The adventure of places that are off the beaten path, or at least not known to everybody in the world draws me in a big way. Also your vids of state and city parks are about noticing and appreciating what you have right in your own backyard. It-s really awesome. Where I used to live in Dallas, there was a place called the Heard museum and Nature Preserve that was a private park created by a lady whose family had owned it since the 1800s. She loved nature and wanted to share all that she loved about her land with others. It was such a cool place and this vid reminded me of it. There were these huge burr oak trees there, and wetlands and rocks and hills to climb. Actually there were a bunch of awesome nature preseverves and parks right in the city. Vids like this make me homesick for my favorite places there. That-s the only down side.

Marvelous movie. Adventure Archives taught me one big but simple lesson:
Appreciate your own backyard.
When you visited my home town Kaiserslautern and the surrounding Palatinate Forest last summer, you where so mesmerized by all of this. I got to see my own backyard through the eyes of strangers. This made me recognize the beauty of this landscape that was somewhat ordinary and boring to me. This movie is yet an other example of this. Beauty is so close, but may be overlooked because you have seen it so often or you can't think of something so beautiful being so close. But when you open your eyes and mind you will be mesmerized.

Thanks for sharing this video, i definitely want to check out that park! If you guys head up here to visit the CVNP would love to meet you. I-m akways like Andrew would know what this weird thing is lol i have photographed tons of mushrooms but never knew their names. I find the same thing out as well there a small park in Parma but it-s so dense it feels like you-re not even in Ohio. I could show you guys some really cool areas. Bedford Reservation is really breathtaking. Thanks for another awesome video you guys. Would love to see video on Mohican park

I often wondered if you guys were -Buckeyes- when I viewed your early videos (love them all. I graduated from high school just south of Columbus. Thank you for this video. Highbanks Metro Park didn't exist when I joined the Air Force in 1965. I began my hiking and backpacking at age 10 and the Olentangy and Scioto Rivers were my playgrounds MY favorite camping areas were in the Hocking Hills (Old Man's Cave) country and water skiing at White Lake. Your photography and communication skills are what I love best about your videos.

I'm glad you guys made this video. Some people think that you have to travel far from the city or out of your state to go and see all this natural beauty when in reality, it exists in your backyard. It's hard to believe, but almost every region has a unique ecosystem that has flora and fauna unlike any other. You don't always have to travel to the mountains or remote wildernesses to experience nature, and that's a great message that people need to hear. You got to help preserve not only the wilderness, but the urban parks as well.

What a great video! You guys have come SO FAR from those early efforts and it has been a pleasure to watch your growth. The quality of both your content and the beautiful shots of nature is outstanding! As a 41 year veteran science teacher, I've seen lots of videos, and I can assure you that this is as good as any I have used!
I hope you guys continue. Thanks for doing one so close to home! Rock on!

Awesome. I love these shorter episodes showcasing smaller parks in local areas. That is something I would like to do for my area. Lots of forests in my city alone. main reason why London's nickname is the forest city. Robby passed 4 different parks/trails when he came to my place and I am just a short drive off the highway. Thanks for the inspiration guy. Hopefully one day I can share my nature with you-

Your editing is getting much better. not to imply that it was bad before. I've always admired the production quality that you guys are able to produce. But the cuts in this episode just seem very crisp. My only comment is that the narration feels rushed. I also like how you guys broke this episode up in to themed chapters.
Keep them coming. :-)

That's an awesome park! we have a few here in eastern Mass, were it's like that till you get to the top of the hills. I've always wanted to try Paw Paw, I've been retraining myself from invertebrates to plants, and kept seeing them in books. But was disappointed when I found that they weren't in my range.

Enjoyed the way your expanding into different video experiences. I do love the other adventures as well. I think this park is so very awesome and the information is great wouldn't mind more of these now and then. But looking forward to a good backpacking adventure. Great work guys.
