Hocking Hills Region

Lancaster, OH - Jun 17- 20, 2016

Today, is the first time in the last three stops where we have had phone, TV or Internet, so I am way behind in my travel posts.  I'm going to try to cover three days in this one post.  I titled this as Hocking Hills Region, as it really is not just one place, but an area in Southeast Ohio.  We parked the MC and then spent three days hiking and exploring.  This will be the highlights.

 Our home spot in Lancaster, what we believe is church sponsored.

 Stop number one.

You can judge by the people in the photo, that this recess cave is very large.

The retaining wall is obviously added for public safety.

It was a very hot day, still very humid, but definitely cooler in the gorge.

 Second stop.
A past full of adventure! Once called Robbers Roost, it is told Rock House was a hideout for bandits and thieves in 1800's.

Final climb to the entrance.  Not ADA compliant!

Again, people in the photo to give a perspective of how large this entrance actually is.  The colorful rock is also evident.

This was taken with a flash to better show the interior.

Another view taken with a flash.

From the inside, looking out, no flash used.

One last look showing the color in the rock.

Third stop was Ash Cave and Cedar Falls.  First Ash Cave.

There is a small pond, but the lighting does not show it.  Several children were wading ankle deep.

This is the start of our hike to Cedar Falls.

This area has not seen rain in a couple of months, so Cedar Falls was not what we expected.

Last stop, Uncle Buck's for a two hour trail ride.

 73930 Buck Ln, New Marshfield, OH 45766

 Saddled up, ready to go!

 Typical view of the trail.

 We had a grand time in the Hocking Hills region.  There was much more that we saw, but too much to include here.  We hope to see this area again in the autumn.
