Here is a tentative schedule and route for the day:

10:30 am: Depart for cruise through the Hocking Hills area.

Here is a proposed map of the route: http://goo.gl/maps/sTOVo

Our cruise will begin on SR 664 and take us down to Hocking Hills State Park, where we will make a stop at Old Man's cave, the most popular stop in the Hocking Hills area. We will begin at the Lower falls and continue our hike through the cave to the Upper Falls. It is approximately a 1 mile hike.

Our cruise will continue through the area, as we head over to the Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve. Here we will stop for a hike up to the top of Conkle's Hollow, where you will be treated to amazing views of the valley below. It is approximately a 1 - 2 mile hike.

Depending on where we are at on time at that point, we may make a stop at the Rock House.

Please keep in mind, that due to the physical activity, I suggest that you bring water to keep hydrated. We will not be making a stop for lunch, so you may also want to also bring snacks along to hold you over until dinner.

Our route will resume, heading East on Thompson Ridge Rd/SR through Laurelville, and then onto Sr 180 W up to SR 374 on to US 33 where we will head back to Logan for dinner.

5:00 pm: Dinner at Millstone BBQ in Logan.

After dinner we will head over to the campground so those of us staying overnight can get our tents set up. The campground also has go-karts and mini golf, so everyone is welcome to join us there for some fun.

I reserved two campsites for the group. The sites are fairly big and can accommodate up to 3 tents each. So far it looks like we have 4-5. I figure we can all split the cost, and it should only be around $10 a person. If you are interested in camping with us, please let me know as soon as possible.
