On the way to eliminating one of the most dangerous intersections in Clermont County, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has discovered an ancient Indian village.

 

The Oberschlake property on the northeast corner of state Route 232 and Swings Corner-Point Isabel Road in Tate Township, less than one mile southwest of Bethel, was being marked for a much safer approach to the intersection when evidence of a very old camp/village was discovered.

Very cool...thanks for catching this - the frickin' Clermont Sun!  Grasscat, you absolutely rock!

 

i don't even know where clermont is, but cool.

^Clermont County is immediately east of Hamilton County (Cincy's county just in case you don't know).

thanks rand

I can't make a good "suburb of" joke here because it's a county...I guess I could say it's in Mt. Orab's MSA, but that's just not very funny...

patience grasshopper, you're time will come.

Pave that sumbitch, I need to get to Wal-Mart!

That one goes out to all of you who say superfluous highway spending is a bad thing. If SR 232 was good enough for the Archaic, then by damn, it's good enough for me!
