Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you happiness and bad days give you experience.
Which kind of day will this one be?
PS- Here’s one more picture from my visit to Rock House this week! Isn’t it incredible? Click here to see more.
Last night took me to Rock House, a site that’s part of the Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio.
This place is munique in this area because it’s an actual cave in the side of a tall cliff.
You can go inside to explore, catching glimpses of the outside through a series of windows that remind me of keyholes. It’s dark, there’s an occasional water puddle and the ground is uneven so it’s a good idea to take it slow in your exploration. Remember, wet rock is not your friend.
I have seen and heard about countless people getting hurt in the Hocking Hills over the years but it’s normally because they are breaking the posted rules, going off trail or simply throwing caution to the wind and behaving recklessly.
This trail is straight down a hill, across rocks and straight up the other side of the hill. It is not even a mile loop but would be challenging for those not accustomed to this kind of activity. So take your time and stay on the trail.
It is worth the trip and is something truly special to experience. In fact, I stood inside the cave thinking about how lucky I am to live so close to such beauty and how fortunate I am to be physically capable to go enjoy it.
American Indians, early settlers and criminals dodging the law are some of the groups that have used Rock House over the centuries. Today you’ll find a number of tourists along with some pigeons and some bats. Well, we heard the bats but didn’t see them.
I like the moodiness of the cave and the texture of the rock. It feels like a secret hangout. It feels ancient and magical.
I hope you like it too.
