My friends and I decided to take a very last minute camping trip on Labor Day down to Hocking Hills... the car ride with Emily, Jy, and Greg might have been the highlight of the trip. Greg is learning how to drive in the city of Columbus (I can't imagine Boston is much different), and it's an adventure in itself. We took a couple of wrong turns, drove up a one way street with four lanes of oncoming traffic, cruised up on sidewalks, and I am sure hit a few people before we made it down to hocking.
We arrived after dark to our hike in campsite... armed with beer, burgers, hotdogs, spicy mustard, cinnamon rolls, and our 10 person mash style tent. It was beautiful. Except we didn't know what our site number was, couldn't check in becuase it was closed, and didn't have cell phone service to communicate with Jonny and Kelly on their way. Who knows how we managed but we did. The girls started on the tent... the boys worked on the fire... and in no time we were up and running. When Kelly and Jonny finally found us we were really ready to party. We cooked up some dinner and enjoyed the peace, community, stillness, and beauty of the hocking hills.
We fit snugly into our ten man tent and even managed to play a few rounds of steam roller. The morning was a good one... we cooked out and ate some more hotdogs and hamburgers for breakfast (yuck). Eventually we set out to do some hiking in the old mans cave...
We managed to lose emily to the old man which turned into an adventure inside an adventure. we hit up some awesome soft serve ice cream on the way out of hocking and made it back to columbus a happy group of people! While we were down in hocking we did some dreaming out loud together... somehow the dreaming out loud led us to deciding to start a week long experiment of living in the same quarters. haha. so that we did. Kel, Em, and I packed out belongings for one week... and set out.
