A little blogging break. Washington County, Ohio is on my
mind but it’s not ready yet. While looking into Washington County I stumbled
upon what might seriously be the best areas ever for a family reunion. It is a
complex of parks – some sites say nine, I saw a list of 12 – with every outdoor
activity you can imagine. Plus it is
incredibly beautiful. Plus there are great little villages with bed and
breakfast inns and other great places to stay, and restaurants with great food.

Honestly it doesn’t really matter that none of us live in
Ohio – we can go there as a family to commune with nature and
each other. The area is called Hocking
Hills and is mostly located in Hocking County – which way back was probably part
of Washington County. So kids and grandkids and great grandkids – please follow
the links and let me know what you think.
I think you’re gonna love it!
“Hocking
Hills provides a variety of recreational opportunities in a splendid natural
setting. The 2,356-acre park has towering cliffs, waterfalls and deep
hemlock-shaded gorges to lure the hiker and naturalist and serve as a backdrop
to popular facilities and accommodations.”

The above is an understatement. I was impressed with the ziplines in other counties -- this one has 50 miles of zips. Whoa! And, they not only have horse trails they have stables that provide horses.
Seriously, let me know what you think. This might be the place in 2014!
