| Hocking Hills State Park |
Today we traveled about 90 miles Southeast of Columbus to Hocking Hills State Park for some hiking. It was absolutely breathtaking! We started out going to Old Man's Cave, which wasn't quite a cave, just a large opening where I guess an old man had lived at one point. We walked down about a million steps to see what would have been a waterfall if there was enough water. There were rock bridges and trails over tree roots and giant rocks, it was some beautiful scenery. I was surprised at the kids, they never ran out of energy at all. Riley wanted so bad to go off the trails, and if he went out of my sight for a minute, I would turn a corner and find him trying to scale smooth rocks. Linda and I walked a little slower than the guys, we wanted to stop and take pictures of everything!! We were going to hike to Cedar Falls, but passed some other people that said there were no "falls" right now, so we decided it wasn't worth another 1.5 miles, when the last mile took us so long!
Then we hiked to a place called the "Rock House" which was really neat. It was some giant rocks that were kind of triangle shaped, to form sort of an A frame house. It was just incredible. And all the trees, there were so many different colored leaves, and it was nice and cool, just a beautiful place. Took lots of pictures, but they just can't convey how amazing it is.
Drove back to town and ate some bar-b-que at Smokey Bones, then went home and passed out! After two days of non stop walking, my legs were sore. Even the kids slept good that night!
