I have been to the Serpent Mound area and the shattered rocks are clear to the naked eye. It seems that everyone, from Indians to whites,knew that the the area was messed up. What scares me is that a major meteor impact missed me by about 100 miles and less than 300 million years. That is too close!

The Clifton Gorge area is also interesting. The Gorge was largely formed by the melting of the last glacier when the melt waters linked up a series of potholes. It now has part of the Little Miami River in it but the river did not cut the gorge, it just followed the exiting channel.

Of course there are folks who claim all the erosion and glacial till and sediment deposition were the result of Noah's flood and their museum is located just outside of Ohio. Maybe we should arrange for free copies of the new map to be handed out to visitors to the Creation Museum.
