Columbus - Chillicothe, Ohio

Well when leaving PA we had trouble with the transmission light and could start the engine.  After several hours of debugging we got it started and headed to a repair shop in Columbus, OH.  After two days the shop came up empty on solutions, Allison Transmission paid for the service.  This made us change and cut short our planned destinations into southern OH.

Relaxing at the Edmund RV Park in Columbus, OH.  Since we knew we would be in Columbus a few days we called brother-in-law Mark.  Mark graciously accommodated us for a few days while the repair shop looked at the transmission.  The original plan was to meet him for lunch as we passed through Columbus.  Accommodations were excellent, Thanks Mark!

After departing Columbus, 2 day delay from original plans, we headed to Chillicothe, OH.  We wanted to visit college friends and see Hocking Hills State Park.  Hocking Hills is noted for its sandstone caves.  

Scenic trail through Hocking Hills.  Sandstone have been carved by glaciers and then weather for many years.

More views of the rock.

Old Man's Cave - fairly large cavity into the rocks.  People actually called this space home many years ago.

Stream flowing through the park creates this waterfall.  Swimming / jumping from the rocks seems to be a local favorite.

Ash Cave - this is the largest cave in the park. 

Another view of Ash Cave - Frank Lloyd Wright design of water flowing through your home!
 Hocking Hills was very interesting.  We understand why it's one of Ohio's big attraction. 
The other reason to go to southern OH was to visit Pat and Tom Woebkenberg, Tom attended Indiana Tech with Larry.    They leave in Wellston, OH.

Fishing pond!  Pat and Tom own about 50 acres which they share with the native animals.

One of Tom's hobbies is wine making.  Here we are tasting one of many!!!!!
Thank you Pat and Tom for a great visit.
