Hicking Hills State Park, long hike with some spectacular views!

"After saying goodbye to Ji's sister, we set off towards Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. The first half of the drive was enjoyable, but the second half was marred by a massive rainstorm. To make matters worse, when we arrived at the park, there was a blackout, and they charged us $27 for a site that had no electricity.

We attempted to set up a tarp for the first time, but it proved to be a frustrating experience, and we couldn't get it right even after an hour of trying. Eventually, the rain stopped, and we decided to forget about it and explore Old Man's Cave before it got too dark.

Thankfully, the weather cleared up, and the hike was fantastic. The trails were great, and the scenery was breathtaking. However, after three hours of hiking, we realized that we needed to get in better shape if we were going to survive this trip. Our next stop is Washington DC."
