Hocking Hills State Park
It had been a long week here in Ohio, Scott had been slammed with school and job interviews, so we decided to go hiking. Our destination was Hocking Hills state park. We read some reviews and this was a very popular place especially the "Old Man's Cave" trail. We were shocked when popular meant people wise. There were peopl swarming everywhere. It wasn't so much of a hike as a nice dirt path courtesty of the public works division during the depression era and the beautiful waterfall was not flowing. However, it was still very cool to see.
The story goes that an old hermit made the cave area his home for several years around the turn of the century. It reall would have been a great place to live. We decided to take a road less travled so we could get the solace we were seeking by going hiking. We ventured down a trail headed for Cedar Falls, again no waterfall but it was beautiful. The tree canopy was changing colors and the ground was covered with all kinds of fun things for Kayt to explore. She walked almost the entire time, singing about anything she saw or did. She jumped off rocks, picked up sticks and climbed up "mountains." She loves the details of nature just like her dad. Ella even enjoyed the trip.
It was a great day trip for us. The hills on the drive there and back were covered in fall colors and the temperature was just right. Scott and I just kept saying, it is not the Mountains but is really is pretty.
