Hocking Hills: Rock House & Cantwell Cliffs-BUCKET LIST DESTINATION 

I’m in Perry County! lol so funny! Also my great grandpa owned part of the land of Cantwell Cliffs and donated it to the State.

I have to say that was the quietest that I have every seen Mike. can you imagine all the concrete and water being carried the join all the steps and rocks talk about the unity and sweat that went into those trails. my favorite sound ever is the water coming off the rock cliffs it always bring me peace for some reason. and a lot of memories of my Grandfather. And my youth many years ago.

Great vid guys a must to visit thanx a mill Patrick Toronto 🇨🇦

Thanks for the beautifull shots, I guess I should say videos but I have take several shots of these sites to view as pics on my PC later on, hope you dont mind. You are doing a fantastice job and helping to make this old 73 year olds life a great bit more pleasant. Thanks again have a great prosperous life. I am sure you'ns will, your family has what it takes.

Those are lil' wooden shelters that hikers use in the winter to get warm while walking along the trail.

Wow! Beautiful and cool!

It’s hard to imagine the scale of some of these places in a video, very humbling

Gr8 video and rock formation keep up good video

Thanks for taking me along with you that was awesome

Enjoyed this video and thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Another incredible hike. Seeing that person at the bottom of the cliff as you or Michael scanned down really showed the massive size of the cliff.

Fun video. FY/TM I: The toy hydrant was from a 50's-60-s vintage Tonka Toys pumper fire truck. It hooked up to a garden hose and leaky suction hoses to feed the fire truck's hose reel

Absolutely beautiful trails mother nature has provided it for us. Thanks for sharing, now it's time to put Mike back to work on the cabin build just kiding. If y'all every to to San Antonio TX go to the Natural Bridge Caravans is is so amazing.

I grew up in the area in the 70s. Your two vids are great.

The wife and I was there 3yrs ago and we had a great time them steps though about kick my but but we even found a place that let you watch up close glass blowing can't remember the name but very interesting at that hope yens had as much fun as we did.😃😎✌️👍👌

Well Mike sent me over here to let you know that you know the bridge is going fine and he said to say hello as well and don’t worry about a thing everything‘s gonna be OK 😂😃

Awesome scenery!!

Another awesome hike...with Mike 😁. I bet that rock house be cool to camp in. Bet the opened front cabin was some kind of cook house at one point in time. 🤷‍♂️. Enjoyed the scenery, and video. Have fun painting that mushroom

Great video!! Hocking Hills is beautiful!! ❤️

The bridge over on the property is really coming along...Cap'n said nothing to worry about. 😊

Mike sent me over here to check out your channel and let you know the bridge is going fine and he said to say hello as well and don’t worry about a thing everything‘s well it'll be fine.

Another great place that I couldn't go thanks for the video!!!!!!!!!!!!! The audio was better this time!!

Great Video ,. Cool places 👍 you not only hiked the trails but did it in sandals lol. Lol if that cabin thing was at the bottom of the stairs . That's for people like me to wait to be evacuated lol 😕 If I go down I'm stuck there until somebody takes me out 🥵 . Stay safe and Happy !! 🇨🇦 Craig

One of our favorite places. I encourage everyone to visit during the week if possible. You will truly get to enjoy the park. Ensure you visit the John Glenn Astronomy Park!!!

Nice video, thanks for sharing. Really liked the part where Mike grabs the safety twine, oh I feel so much safer. Reminded me of my one and only tour fo a nuclear reactor, we were inside the containment building on the refueling level. Everything is so big and indescribable that you loose all sense of perspective. The group is standing there listening to our guide next two four little sticks with safety twine surrounding a big square hole, the guys explaining how the hole is for pulling up new fuel bundles from the train tracks down below and how they have to tear down the concrete wall to get the train with the fuel in when ever they refuel. I casually glance over and the train tracks look like they are from a model trail layout because we are so high up. And the only thing between me and the abyss below is a tiny section of safety twine and a 6” wide stripe painted on the floor. I could feel what was going thru Mikes head as he noticed the size of the twine. Wishing you and your family the best.

I appreciate your video. I'm almost getting too old to hike them. I have many memories of being there with family and friends in the past. We just called them "The Caves."

Well done Wild Root.... You'd like Starved Rock State Park in North Western IL. That would be a long haul for you guys. It's about 2.5hrs wnw of Decatur. We are about 3hrs from your homestead.

I love those topical beaches in Canada...

The little cabins with the fireplaces are warming points for scheduled Winter hikes for Boy/Girl/Cub scouts. It's funny how you said not to bring your kids to Cantwell Cliffs. I remember my daughter complaining on the way up from the gorge. We had already done 3 other hikes. Old Man's Cave, Conkle's Hollow and Ash Cave. She was only 6 and she was certain her legs were going to fall off😂.

Some day you should take a drive West about 3 hours, and visit Giant City State Park, in Southern,Il. You could even rent a cabin, but it won't be a paddle wheeler themed cabin! 🤣 @17:20, that is a Stereoscope. You put a stereograph picture in it, and it makes it look 3D. My folks had one that had belonged to Dad's cousin, and had a bunch of different postcard sized stereograph pictures for it.

Funny thing about the bucket list. When you mark one off, there seems to be two to replace it. My list just keeps getting longer, the longer I live. Seems to me I should be able to shorten the list. Having RU-vid allows me to have adventures all over the world. Thanks for sharing with us. Make sure you thank Mike for putting a link to your site. Most of the others we all know, don't link wife RU-vid sites. IMO, they should all have a link to their wives YT sites. Mike always sets the bar high for the others. Thanks.

That second cabin looked like a warming cabin or dry cabin for hikers that get cold or wet.

The open cabin in middle of woods could be for overnight camping. There is those type of cabins along the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail in South West Pennsylvania.

im late as usual lol but disabled now and love seeing old flea market stuff lol yeah I'm wired different

Reminds me of Rock City but seems more interesting. Very cool

Amazing views! Need to make it to Montana and check out Glacier National Park and yellowstone National Park

Glad y'all had a good time. You could come to North Carolina. We got the Blue Ridge parkway and here in wilkes county we got Stone Mountain Park just to name a few places.

You should see the progress on the bridge!

I think Mike needs the viewfinder to help when he is looking at the water level for the timber bridge.

That was a gorgeous adventure. Although my vertigo kicked in a few times… I had faith you’d talk me down!!! That stereo photo viewer is the predecessor to the View Master. There were two photos taken from slightly different perspectives. If you put the left on the left and the right in the right hand side of the holder correctly… you could see amazing 3-D stereo depth of field. My grandfather had one with a hundred or so sets of photos. There was everything from frogs on Lilly pads to the Taj Mahal. Even in black & white they held me spell bound! There was a formula for the angle of offset when taking the photos. When it matched the angle of the oculars in the viewer the images were stunning. If the angle was off or you reversed the left and right the images were muddied. View Master eliminated that by putting their images on disks… and introduced color. (For those of us who enjoyed them, today’s stereo movies are poor imitations.) When I was a kid, color TV’s were rare. When one showed up in our house the colors were pale and grainy. I actually saw more wonders through Grandpa’s Stereo Viewer and my View Master than I did on TV! The real value in either today is the photo medium… I wish I had them now! It looked like you had a nice visit. Thanks for the tour. It was an enjoyable trip for me too!

I was in the neighborhood and thought I would stop by and say Hi. Love the forest. Doesn't it seem quieter in the deep woods?

I need a spam~joe 😆

I wonder if that towing setup at the end would be DOT Bear approved aka Officer Hoover. Looked pretty sketchy to me.

Captain sent me.

Somebody was lifeflighted from Old Man's cave yesterday from climbing on the rocks plus a few people die there each yr from slipping over the edge cause they wont stay on the trails

Jesus...maybe my perception is distorted by the camera, but some of those trails look like they need railings alongside them. Yikes!

Is there much wildlife on the trail - do you get to meet any of it?

Lol Perry county is the next county over from Hocking going northeast

What did you think of the Hocking Hills I live about 20 miles from it

Nobody makes Cheese-its like the Amish.

Why would you say don't bring your kids? 🤣 my sons ages 4-17 would've been able to tell you the tree species and not been guessing a walnut. Maybe your opinion is how you would do but Don make it seem like kids shouldn't be into nature
