We had the pleasure of my step-mom coming down for a visit. Originally, we had planned for us to go to a Clipper's game on Friday and a kayaking the Darby on Saturday. The best laid plans. I mis-read the Clipper's schedule so they were actually away. Mother nature didn't help for Saturday's plans either, all day light rain and high 50's would not have been a pleasurable float.
We decided to put on the rain coats and boots and head down to the Hocking Hills. Usually, hitting up Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls and Ash Cave on a Saturday is a mistake in my book. Waaaaaay too many people. But, we didn't have much choice and I figured the rain would keep most people away. I wasn't too surprised though, to see the lots pretty full even with the rain.
The benefit of the rain we have had over the recent days was the waterfalls were flowing really nice. Sometimes later in the summer, the falls are reduced to a trickle, if flowing at all. This was spectacular for photos. The trick was getting photos without people in them, except of course, for photos of the family.
No matter how many times I am visit the Hocking Hills, it never gets old. It is always worth the drive, the time, and energy. It was great to see it through family's eyes for the first time.
