    Ohio Trip

    Canawlers pictures of the Hocking Hills http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...hlight=hocking took me back 30 years or more. I saw the park shortly after graduating high school. Knowing that I was going back with my wife in October to celebrate my Grandparent's 75th wedding anniversary (how many of you have been to a 75th anniversary party?), I decided to take my wife there. On top of all of that, the fall colors were beautiful. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't terribly cooperative.

    Also, you can consider this another entry in the tour of the Eastern US.


    This is Glacier Lake in Mill Creek Metropolitan Park, downtown Youngstown, Ohio



    Mill Creek in Youngstown, downstream from the lake.



    Ash Cave in the Hocking Hills.

    Very nice pictures of the waterfalls. The glass look of the trees on the lake is a kind of picture that I have yet to get in my portfolio. Great job with the pics.

    Dale,

    Cool pics. My uncle lives in that area, so I am somewhat familiar with it. Last time I visited was 16 years ago, though, so I wasn't kilted back then.

    Great Pics!!!


    I looked at the pictures without really looking so much at the text and when i got to the Ash Cave picture, I realized I have been there before. I must say, you went at a better time than I did. I was their about 5 summers ago or so and didn't get to see the fall colors. The pictures really are magnificent.
    And shepherds we shall be, for thee My Lord, for thee.
    Power hath descended forth from thy hand,
    that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
    We shall flow a river forth to thee,
    and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
    In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

    Great pictures. Thanks for sharing the colors. O'Neille

    Great pics! And the third one down of the falls in Ash cave is absolutely stunning! Great depth and color. Almost feel like I am there.

    Wonderful Pics!
    I grew up in that area, and went to college down at Hocking a little more south.
    Ash cave is definately a place to visit during winter if you get a chance. The falls ice up underneath and make a volcano type structure. Very cool indeed!
