I am looking for great ideas for the Hocking Hills area. I will be there with my boyfriend in May. We both love nature and are looking forward to this trip and are staying five nights. We looked in to the zip lines, but he is very tall, putting him over the weight limit. And I am not sure how comfortable he'd be in a canoe or kayak, but maybe a raft. lol. I also like going to local merchant shops for special souvenirs and supporting local artists. I saw listings for a Pencil museum or something along those lines, we like random and unique places. Being students, we're trying to stick to a tighter budget. It looks like most the parks are free and I've found a lot of free activities thus far in my search. We're planning on splurging and having the 7 course dinner at the Glen Laurel. Any ideas for a day trip a couple of hours away would be neat too, like in WV or going to the Newport Aquarium right across the river in KY. Any suggestions would be wonderful. I borrowed some guide books from the library as well. I love planning vacations, but input from fellow travelers is helpful. Thanks so much!!... Read More »
