There are several different historic country clubs in Dayton, Ohio including the Miami Valley Golf Club, the Dayton Country Club, and the Walnut Grove and Moraine Country Clubs. These country clubs and golf clubs provided entertainment and fun for Dayton families. In fact, in a newspaper article from 1971, the president of the Walnut Grove Country Club, William Blankenship, claimed to thrive on the fact that his club was indeed family oriented.

The Jump-Off Creek introduces the reader to the unforgiving Blue Mountains and the harsh pioneer lifestyle with the tale of Lydia Sanderson, a widow who moves west from Pennsylvania to take up residence in a rundown homestead. She and other characters battle nature, finances, and even each other on occasion in a fight for survival in the harsh Oregon wilderness. Although the story is vividly expressed through the use of precise detail and 1800s slang, it failed to give me a reason to care because the characters are depicted as emotionally inhibited.

Lawson uses an exceptionally high degree of literary devices to develop each character in this novel.
When I first arrived at Indian Creek, I lived in an apartment complex called Autumn Chase. The buildings were made out of red and brown bricks. The park had many features. There was a small little kid slide that had stairs, a yellow tube, a car wheel, and a little hood over it all. Then for the big kids, there was a ticktacktoe chart, and swirling latter, rings that you climb up, a normal slide, and three combined slides that had a different pattern. The park was the first and last place I spoke with Triston...
This beauty is non-existent to the unknowing eye. However, for someone like Laura, who has been challenged and overcome by the prairie, the beauty is evident all around her: “She liked the enormous sky and the winds, and the land that you couldn’t see to the end of. Everything was so fresh and clean and big and splendid.” (75) What started as a childish excitement for something new and unknown, developed into a deep appreciation for the nothingness and open skies that seemed to go on

With spectacular features such as the Cradle Mountain, stunning glacier lakes such as Lake St. Clair, and a large variety of unique vegetation and animals, the Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park attracts numerous amounts of people each year.
The visual surrounding the lake was perceived before the mountains was beautiful and serene. The lavender flowers near the water mirroring the colossal mountains smelled of spring.

The environment was well needed for break within a busy life.
We followed a broad footpath trodden under the feet of slow-chewing cows that were, let’s just say, extremely messy. The path wandered along in turns and easy angles and came at last to the woods. But after reaching the shadow of the first sugar maple, it veered sharply left and bordered a creek that had been dammed up to form a swimming hole.
