Worse. They wear superhero outfits and stop at all the roadside parks so the can jump off the picnic table tops. I have pictures.

Hocking Hills is a very nice area, I was there 5-6 years ago.

“I just might. Birch is supposed to pick up Nigal. I don't want to interfere with their "man time".”

Well there's no reason for you guys to take two cars. I might want to get down there early Friday to secure camp sites and get set up for early arrivers. How about you two and Wolfy drive down together?

I would like to drive and arrive in the daylight hours. Hopefully this won't pose a problem for carpooling?

I don't know what time Birch is gonna get off work, or if he'll work Friday. I don't think he's decided yet. We have yet to arrange a Grandparent for Abby so I can't say what time I'd be able to leave yet. It'll all get worked out in the next few weeks, but it's all a mystery right now.

We don't have to rideshare if schedules don't match up.

I hope you can too Bit. How do you think the wife would feel if you were abducted? Think she'd recover okay if you showed back up on Sunday and told her it was all a joke, you were just car camping? ;)

She'd probably be pissed that you didn't just keep me.

True....... ;-)


Is Daffers going? Might be worth a plane ride to meet Daffers, and maybe that owner of her's.


(ignore me, I'm just talking out of my butt, sorry. But I would love to meet this bunch)

Sure. Better have a back belt though.

If birch were Chuck Norris, he wouldn't have to take you to Hocking in his car, he would just strike his fighting pose and scare you all the way there.

I'm going to see how my schedule works out. I might be able to make it, but then again might not. It's been a few years since I was in the Hocking Hills, and I'd like to go back (without the burden of working from dawn till well after dusk taking samples for a limnology field study).

Wifey probably won't be able to come, as she has a conference in Baltimore the following weekend and she most likely will have to work. I'll probably bring my pooch, though.

this looks like a pretty cool park but it also looks like it would be pretty busy

nigal, do you know if it gets pretty busy this time of year?

Not very. After April it can get busy. There may be more people on the trail but not in the camp grounds.

i was checking out the tepees and yurts the OH state parks have...you ever stay in one of these?...i could probably get the wife out more if we stayed in one of these

Looks like I'll be coming solo. Wife definitely has to work, and I had to make a deal with her in order to go. I had to leave the dog home with her for the weekend, as I took him with me on my last car camping trip when she had to work.

Y'all talk Nicole and Mike into going and I might consider Kar Kamping with y'all.

I'm a strong maybe for this one! If I can scrape up the gas money, I'm there.

Hey Nigal, how close are you to Scioto State Park? I'll be there March 10-11 for an adventure race. If you're close you should pop over. We'll be in the campground Friday night.

Sounds like Birch might have to go to a union training course that weekend. He's looking for another date, not sure if we'll be there now. Will let you guys know asap. =(

I'm about an hour and a half from there Indi J but that's my wife's birthday. I think I'd get my nuts kicked in if I bailed on her. LOL!

Hey sass, just cause Birch is married to the union like Buddha Bear doesn't mean you have to miss does it?

IJ - let me know if you need a carpool, K?
I'd hate to see anyone miss out for lack of a ride when I'm right around the corner so to speak. You're in IL now, correct?
