Last weekend we went down to Hocking Hills in southeast Ohio for a weekend of relaxation and hiking. We rented a little cabin in the woods that had its own pool table and hot tub. It was awesome.
The hiking day didn't start off too well... poor Alice got car sick (ala Jay in the Smokey Mountains) and tossed her cookies a couple of times. Julie gave her a Dramamine in between hikes and that just made her high. She was swerving all over the place on her way back to the car. She was a real trooper though and stuck it out the entire day.
We felt so sorry for Alice because of what she went through that during our campfire outside the cabin that night we took it upon ourselves to take turns tossing stones into the woods when she wasn't looking. We completely freaked her out that there was a bear or a cougar stalking us and she was a nervous wreck by the time we finally let her in on our group secret... a mere 2 hours later! Yeah, we're a bunch of Steves.

Photos of our first hike to Ash Cave... it's amazing that this is in Ohio since we're so used to the flat fields. We saw a snake on the hike that had to be 4-5 feet long as it just crossed the path. I'm so proud of Julie and Kara for their calm reactions.
Kurt saved the day for holding up this tree from falling on us. =)
This was a photo on our second hike to Old Man's Cave... somebody actually called this place home for a number of years.
The happy group in its way to Old Man's Cave.
Notice Julie isn't standing out on this rock jutting out over this open expanse. She was hugging the treeline a safe distance back with Mike and Kara. Notice the people below...
Here's a shot of the group... you gotta love the Gorillapod.
