Summer is flying by.

It’s been a long time since I wrote anything on this blog and it’s about time I did. Nikki and I went for a hike today. We got up early and left the house before 8:00 to head to Hocking Hills State Park south of Logan, OH. It took a little over an hour to get there and we both decided to hike one of the spots we have never been before. We hiked Rock House and it was a nice little hike. It was only a mile, but it had some pretty steep paths. There is a little cave in the middle of the hike on the side of a cliff.

After we completed that hike we hoped back in the car and headed to Ash Cave.  That was another short hike where kids and dogs were having fun making noises into the cliff walls to hear the echo.  The cave acts as a parabolic antenna and amplifies every noise being made.  We didn’t stick around long before finding a trail that lead up to the rim for the hike back to the parking lot.
