I loaded a roll of expired Fuji Pro 160C film in my Pentax K1000 and headed to the Ohio and Erie Canal Reservation a few morning ago. I had never hiked the part of the Towpath Trail that runs through this part of the Cleveland Metro Parks - and I had never shot any Pro 160C - both turned out to be beautiful. From what I've read the film is supposed to be a modern color film along the lines of Kodak's Ektar - very sharp, low grain, wide exposure latitude & dynamic range, and very good for scanning - my expired version showed a decidedly green color cast but definitely hit on the dynamic range and low grain marks.
The part of the Canal Reservation I hiked is known as Hidden Valley - the area runs under a huge train bridge, has many historical signs, and the canal is watered. I found it to be educational and scenic - it was hard for me to choose a spot to turn around at - I kept going and going. I definitely will return to the area - I also shot a roll of black and white here which I will be posting soon.
Cleveland's part of the Towpath - a little different.
Train seemed to pass over this bridge about every ten minutes.

The Big Blue Fall Sky! I love it!

The path winds through some old industrial part of Cleveland - many of them still active. They had a restored steel forge machine by the side of the trail - this is the logo from said forge.
I finished my roll on a hike with Laura at Cascade - these are our shadows on the sled riding hill.
Laura blows a dandelion - so cute that you can't be mad at that!
