Cabin in the Hills - Day 1 / by Mark

Note: I'm posting this after the fact, as internet in the area was inconsistent at best.

It's been quite a while since we've taken a trip not related to visiting family, and with our 28th anniversary just passed, it seems like a good time.  We came down to Hocking Hills for our honeymoon, and always planned to return--just never got around to it.  So...

Mindy found a cabin--Lazy Lane--and after a equally lazy tour of SE Ohio (we couldn't pick up the keys until 4p), including a stop at the Logan Dam…

…plus a trip through the set of Deliverance, there we were.  The outside wasn't all that impressive…

Green Acres, we are theeeerrree...

but the inside was, well, cozy.

It's a good thing we got there before dark, because the driveway up to the cabin was narrow and muddy.  The cabin owners stated it requires 4-wheel drive in the winter, and I believe them.

The best thing about the cabin (apart from opening time with my sweetie) is the hot tub.  We used it twice the first night. The owners have a rule (they have a lot of them) that users should get in the tub “au naturale”.  We're in the middle of the forest, so why not?  I just hope there's no webcam nearby...

We then consumed some of our provisions and crashed. Exploring begins tomorrow!
