Cabin in the Hills - Day 2 by Mark

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

October 4 - South Bloomfield

After checking out the weather report (it rained off and on), we decided to fit in a hike at Old Man's Cave.  But first a stop at the only coffee shop in the area.

Old Man's Cave was rather crowded for a Monday (damn you, homeschooling!), but very pretty.

BTW—many people ignored these rules.

Then down to Athens to check out the town, Ohio University (where’s all the drunk students I hear about?), and a fruitless run at a Roadside America listing ("Hitler's Urinal").

We found Miller's Chicken for a late lunch--they started by selling directly at a chicken farm--and it was quite good.

We had better luck with another Roadside America stop--the Pencil Sharpener Museum.  Small, but impressive.

After a stop for more provisions, and an ice cream shop with no less than 41 soft serve flavors, it was back to the cabin and more hot-tubbing (Hi, 50sTubbingCam.com). More tomorrow.
