Hocking Hills Canopy Tour

by  • 

Today, I went with some friends to do the Hocking Hills Canopy Tour, which is a zipline course. There were 10 ziplines on the tour, which gives a great view of the Hocking River and many natural rock formations.

Our tour guides Joey and Shamrock were great and well trained. I highly recommend the tour if you get the chance. 

I took this video using my Mino video camera strapped on to my harness. It gives some sense of the velocity of the experience, but since I couldn’t aim the camera, there is little context for it. 

This video is of Mike doing the Eagle Scream zip. During this one, we were encouraged to attempt to scream the whole way across in one breath. I believe Mike was channeling Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song.

Hiking in Old Man’s Cave

Rebecca and I had a very nice hike on a very hot day in Old Man’s Cave. We did have the benefit of a canopy of trees, which makes it cooler than other activities.

Rebecca’s hiking boots ended up blowing out during the hike and she was upset that they didn’t ‘last forever’. I asked her when she bought them and we figured it out that she had them for 14 years. The soles must have succumbed to dry-rot.

While hiking back to our car on the Upper Falls Trail, I encountered a deer and was able to sneak a few pics.
