Hot Tubs!

[judecorp]

I'm taking the most beautiful girl in the world to a far-off land of quaint cottages in the Hocking Hills.

I have lots more to say, but I'm at work. I shouldn't be online at work, but heck, I'm just too frickin' excited. (And I have tomorrow off, yaaaaay!)

Beautiful land + hiking + geocaching + sunsets + hot tubs + gas grill + weekend away + pretty girl = weekend++

YAY....I just put a post up about this too:)

I also left you a message about how rehoboth beach and seaside heights are only 9 hours from here for our next long weekend away:)

Mmmmm... kissing a girl on the beach.

Hocking Hills is beautiful! Year-round. My Dad's family is from around there, so we used to have to go there a couple of times a year. On eyour way there, you'll pass the Green Lawn Cemetary in Doansville. Wave to it for me when you pass. My Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, and a few of my Great-Aunts and Uncles are buried there.

Also look for the big white cross on top of Mason City Hill. It's a memorial figure a guy put up there in honor of his wife, Betty. It's a really beautiful sight from the road.

Here are some other little-known facts:

My Great-Grandpa Keplar was a miner in Nelsonvile, which at one time, had the largest coal mining operation in the midwest. He lost his leg in a mine collapse, and became the first man in Ohio to receive a blood transfusion. We used to have his wooden leg in our attic when I was a kid. It was the kind with a leather belt that went around his waist. It always creeped me out as a kid...

On your way between Logan and Nelsonville, you'll pass a little, itty-bitty town called Sugar Grove. It's up on a hill, and you'll miss it entirely if you don't see the sign before the left turn. Anywho...My parents were married in the Lutheran church on the hill in Sugar Grove. My dad took us back there (after my folks divorced, of course), and the guest book still had the signatures of everyone who attended my parents' wedding in 1973.

I've never been to the area, so I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks for the romp down Memory Lane!

Hey hot stuff...I hope you guys have a good time! Just as a word of warning, Jason went to Hocking Hills last weekend to do some caching and said that there aren't any in the actual park...the closest one is 7 miles away.

There's a bunch of them within 10 miles (in all directions) of the place that we are staying in Logan. I printed out 4 of them (leaving out one that was terrain 4.5 because it would kill Jen) to do around the area, and one for on the way home. My plan is to leave the Travel Bug somewhere in the Hocking Hills, but it doesn't look like they will be big enough for him. Maybe I will find one that I can stick him in. He wants to see the world!
