    Okay, Joe is officially the most adorable baby I’ve seen in a long while. I love how vocal he is. I was born and bred in Southwest Ohio. Hocking Hills has always been my favorite place to visit in Ohio. Thank you for sharing your family time with us.

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  2 роки тому +6

      I think Joe is pretty cute, but I'm pretty biased. I'm more familiar with northern Ohio, which is pretty flat and boring much like southern Michigan. I did know that the southern part was more hilly, but I had no idea there was anything this beautiful there.

    Fantastic family outing - if exhausting! Thanks indeed for bringing us along. I'm so amazed I've never heard of this place, let alone never been here. Some epic geology. I'm imaging some enormous floods ripping through this already weathered and permeable landscape, tearing up the sandstone and carving these huge channels and waterfalls, dragging & tumbling some of those massive boulders & rocky fragments to their new resting places. Would have made interesting homes for ancient peoples. Quite wonderous landscape. Thanks for the experience. Your kids are a credit & lots of fun.

      I'm sorry you're not able to get around well. UA-cam does allow you to see some pretty amazing places, even if you can't go yourself. I can walk ok, but I'll never go to some places in far away countries that I can at least see videos of.

    I'm 54 and have walked every trail in Hocking Hills many many times. No matter how many times I see Rock House it's a treat. My favorite hike is the upper rim trail at Conkle's Hollow. I'm glad you and your family discovered our hidden gem.

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  Рік тому

      That was an awesome vacation, one of my favorites. We only did one trail at Conkle's Hollow and it seemed to be low, rather than high. Now I want to go back and do the other trail. I couldn't believe that every trail we did was better than the last. I thought the first day was so good that we'd be disappointed by everything after. Boy, was I wrong.

    • @magamemes3453
      @magamemes3453 Рік тому

      @@MichiganRocks the upper rim trail gets narrow at points, but is very managable. There are a couple of uncovered cliff areas where you can see the whole Hollow and far beyond. If you ever make it back; I highly suggest that trail.

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  2 роки тому

      The bird sounds were nice. I couldn't have told you that it was a wood thrush though.
      My wife and I took summer college classes about four hours away when we were first married. We stayed in the college town, but came home on weekends. Nancy took a bird class that summer and part of it was learning bird calls. On the way home for the weekends, she'd play tapes in the car. The narrator would say something like "This bird says "Tea kettle, tea kettle". Then there would be a recording of a bird going "tweet, tweet". The narrator could always hear something that I couldn't. I guess I'm not fluent in bird.

It also happens to be next door to the best agate county in our state.
