honey creek

Earlier in my life we used to build forts at honey creek, forts consisting of larger sticks and anything we could find in the area washed up by the rain on the crooked banks of honey creek anything that would shelter us,  after we had constructed the fort we never went in the fort again, (that's not entirely true) i can still see my brother in elementry school with a attractive sixth grader experimenting in the fort.(an image I'd like to forget) but it's burned into my brain like a stubborn grass stain on my adolescent blue jeans.
 honey creek wasn't very large and the deepest spots were where it made a sharp right or left turn and even then it would barely come up to your waste so there was never a thought or mention of boating or riding the rapids on honey creek since there wasn't any but for a child it was still a cool place to be.. it probably wasn't all that sanitary but no one ever died from being around it or in it. Usually in. The spring of the year the suckers would swim up honey creek to spawn(lay their eggs) and as ÿoungsters we would try to catch them or gig them at least that was a phase for a short time. Also honey creek was the only place I've ever seen a pa-pa patch with actual pa pa's growing on the tree's in the fall of the year, pa pa's taste reminded me of overly ripe banana's.

Honey creek ran to buckeye lake and is located in central ohio east of Columbus.
