Thanks Jean-Luc!

Intrepid: We seem to pretty much want whatever is just ahead! After weeks of snow and ice, mud is a wonderful thing (but of course, the firm packed dirt of summer will be even better…until we crave a carpet of fall leaves…).

Delmer: You do! It’s a much easier drive now that Lancaster has a by-pass. Hannah and I aim to check out the new zip line Canopy tour down there in the next few months.

The boys and I camped at Hocking Hills a few years ago.

It’s sad that as close as it is and as pretty as it is we’ve not been back. We really need to go again.

Looks like a great way/place to spend the afternoon. I think I would enjoy the quietness and solitude. I’d skip the mud. Prefer the snow much more. Thanks for sharing another nice secret.

Brian: ~Sounds like you found some of Ohio’s best. There are stretches of I-71 and I-70 where there’s nothing but “are we there yet?!” Hocking Hills SP is truly a treasure -wonderful in every season.

Your photo site has a terrific lay-out, BTW…

Cate: Thanks Cate! As challenging as the cold can be at times, it does transform the landscape in dramatic and often stunning ways.

Your trip sounds amazing!! Love the photo of the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur…

Just reading Brain D’s comment and comparing your photos, I wouldn’t have thought Ohio had boring landscape. As a true discoverer you find those hidden gems. It looks cold even with the spring thaw. Nice post and good writing and a good read.

Anyone that’s only seen Ohio through the windshield while on the freeways know the state as a plain and very boring place to be. As an over the road truck driver for many years I learned the southeastern Ohio has some very beautiful scenery.

You take very nice photos and the description is top shelf. I’ll put Hocking Hills State Park on my list of places to see the next time I go through Ohio. I’m no longer an OTR truck driver but I still love to travel.
