Hocking Hills State Park

     It was a cloudy and cold Friday morning (May 11th) when we left Grand Rapids, and since we stopped in a Rest Area for a 2 hour nap 😴😊, we didn’t get to the Hocking Hills State Park Campground until evening.  As soon as we entered the area of Hocking Hills, we lost all phone service and internet.

     We love traveling with our truck camper. It’s like carrying a small house along with you wherever you go 🐢.

     We woke to a cool but sunny Saturday morning (12th), and got up early to explore the park. Since it was a Saturday the park was really busy. We hiked the Old Man’s Cave Trail which was a great place to start early before it got too crowded. It was a beautiful wooded trail with waterfalls, rocks and bridges over running water. Lovely.

    After a brief rest and lunch in the camper we hiked to Cedar Falls . . . 

And Ash Cave . . .

     And then did the hike to Rockhouse which is a tunnel-like cave situated midway up a 150-foot cliff with “windows” looking out over the forest.

    I’m not sure what I did to my left leg, but I was having some problems putting weight on it during the last couple of hikes, so it was slower going as I limped along, but totally worth it.

     We went to sleep with a steady rain on the roof all night. So glad we got to enjoy the trails on a beautiful day!  They will be a muddy mess after all that rain!

   Heading toward Cinncinati today because we’re going to the Creation Museum tomorrow. 😊
