The back of the stone
Placement beneath a bench off the trail
The bench off Boston Run Trail
Three months later, the stone still remains.
Update (February 10, 2026): Returned to Akron to hike and decided on this trail to check on the stone... cannot believe it's still here, but it's state makes it obvious why it is.
Update (February 10, 2026): Front cleaned-off, the stone is showing a little damage despite the clear coat.
Update (February 10, 2026): Reverse cleaned-off.
Actually started this in late-October 2023 after returning from a road trip, but I just couldn’t manage the energy to finish it then. So, it’s been sitting on my desk for a year, waiting for me to put some time into it, which just happened, in-time for Halloween this year. Boo!
