A Virtual Hike on the Hemlock Gorge Trail at Mohican State Park in the Beautiful State of Ohio

MQTlogoa On a recent camping trip to Mohican State Park Linda and I had the chance to hike the Hemlock Gorge Trail.

We were camping with our T&B QMax trailer. Notice how we were easily able to turn our trailer around so we faced my sister and her husbands trailer on the right. Have to have those EZ Up canopies… Time to hit the trail….

Yes.. 3 miles to the covered bridge making it a 6mile round trip hike….(my legs hurt LOL)…One good point there is very little elevation change..

Trail starts out wide and level..

“The 1,110-acre Mohican State Park and the adjacent 4,525-acre state forest are outstanding in their beauty and offer limitless opportunities for visitors to explore one of Ohio's most unique natural regions. The striking Clear Fork Gorge, hemlock forest and scenic Mohican River offer a wilderness experience while the resort lodge and cottages provide luxurious accommodations.”

Notice one of the rental cottages on the other side of the river…

Many Many years ago I lived about twenty miles from Mohican State Park.

Trail narrows and gets a little rougher. Linda and I met a young woman running the trail. Linda observed that Liz must be sure footed. Liz said, “I’m from the little town of Glacier Washington at the foot of Mt. Baker. No problem running the trail here.” Liz is visiting Ohio, hopefully some day Linda and I will visit the Mt. Baker area in Washington State.

“The Mohican River is a principal tributary of the Walhonding River, about 40 miles (64 km) long, in north-central Ohio in the United States. Via the Walhonding, Muskingum and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 999 square miles (2,587 km²).”

100_0249 We are getting close to the end of the trail. Relief is in sight..

100_0250 Yea………

100_0252100_0259

Linda and I  definitely give Mohican State Park two thumbs up for viewing and hiking. Notice:: it says to call 911 in and emergency.. No cell coverage on this trail …sorry…

The Lyons Falls trail starts on the other side of the bridge…. Linda and I hiked that trail the next day. The Class B campground at this end of the Hemlock Gorge trail seemed very nice for tent camping and was not crowded at all.

River view from the middle of the bridge. I hear there is some good fishing on this part of the river.

100_0294 Linda and I say, “Thanks for stopping by and we hope you are able to get out into the great outdoors and do a little hiking.”

“The Stairs” in the Hocking Hills of Ohio

MQTlogoa For a Spiritual start to the day “The Stairs” by T.D. Garrison and a couple photos of mine taken in the Hocking Hills of Ohio.

DSC_0017

Oh long and dark the stairs I trod,
with stumbling feet to find my God,
Gaining a foothold bit by bit
Then slipping back and losing it.

DSC_0074

There came a certain time when I
Loosened my hold and fell thereby,
Down to the lowest step my fall
As if I had not climbed at all.

DSC_0071

And as I lay despairing there,
there came a footfall on the stairs
And 'lo' when hope had ceased to be
My God came down the stairs to me.

jtf1 Hope everyone has a great day. Linda and I certainly enjoyed hiking in The Hocking Hills of Ohio.

Ready To Roll With Our T@B Trailer

MQTlogoa As some of you know Linda and I have always enjoyed camping/traveling. We decided to trade in our tent and get a small camping trailer. The T@B Q Max is what we decided on. T@B is manufactured right here in Ohio by Little Guy Worldwide: 4122 Erie Ave. S.W., Massillon, Ohio 44646

DSC_0006 A big thanks to Bruce Miller RV Specialist at Haydocy RV on West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio. When we pulled out of the lot (thanks to Bruce ) all our questions about the T@B had been answered and we were Ready to Roll.

So for our “shake down” trip::

DSC_0053 You can’t beat a trip to Old Man’s Cave Camp Ground in the Hocking Hills of Ohio.

Linda and I spent four days and three nights at the campground and had a wonderful/comfortable time. In the evenings it was a little chilly but with the Alde heating system we were as warm as toast.

DSC_0045 I found the T@B very easy to tow with my Trail Blazer.

DSC_0043 As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great day.. Oh the teddy bears enjoyed the trip also..LOL
