Wingfoot

Wingfoot State Park is in Mogadore Ohio. If one did not know the history, the sound of 'wingfoot' might suggest some American Indian appellation.  Before 2009, most of the park was Goodyear Rubber's. The lake was created for a water suppl for the factory. It became a recreational area for employees.  2009-12 Goodyear, Trust for Public Lands, and the State of Ohio combined to form the state park. To-day, ten high schools came for a track meet. The park has several game fields, dog parks, playground, and picnic areas.
 From 1917 to 1972 these stones were at the top of the corporate headquarters.
 Across the lake, in Suffield Township, is a blimp hangar. To-day, Wingfoot One was outside.

 A very quick moving osprey(?) kept flying after snatching a fish. I was lucky to get a shot.
