Okay, Joe is officially the most adorable baby I’ve seen in a long while. I love how vocal he is. I was born and bred in Southwest Ohio. Hocking Hills has always been my favorite place to visit in Ohio. Thank you for sharing your family time with us.
I think Joe is pretty cute, but I'm pretty biased. I'm more familiar with northern Ohio, which is pretty flat and boring much like southern Michigan. I did know that the southern part was more hilly, but I had no idea there was anything this beautiful there.
I love it there. Breathtaking. Perfect lens for the vastness. And the ferns. I laughed with the baby. And I loved his commentary. This video is definitely in the top five!
What a wonderful family outing! That was awesome! Everything was fascinating! The honeycombs were very cool, looked like birdhouses! I believe even Nancy would agree, it was worth every moment even though I would be winded about the quarter of the way through!😂😂 Joe was cuteness overload and looked like he had fun too! Great looking family Rob! Thanks for sharing!
@@MichiganRocks I recognized that Nancy has a knee problem. Probably because I have two knees with problems. One has been replaced. The other I'm waiting to do later. Knee replacement is very painful. But at least no more pain in that one. Bad thing about knee problems it effects your other joints too. I hope her knee gets better.
I have been to Hocking Hills several times, both in summer and winter... it is fantastic and I love going back when we can. It's a pretty well kept secret in my opinion. The Hocking Hills zipline tours are pretty fun too. Love it!
Close enough for me. Way too much walking and too much up and down pathways. My legs just couldn't do that. So you just keep making amazing videos for me to dream about seeing . LOL
That looks like an absolutely stunning area to go camping. Another place to add to the ever growing list of places to visit. Take away the people noises and it sounds sooooo peaceful! Thanks for sharing this family adventure!
Nice, I love it here! We've een here a few times, love all the hiking, waterfalls and history. Thank you for all the wonderful memories! It was nice to see! Thanks Rob!
Wow so beautiful & ancient! You all seemed to have a good time. Joseph is adorable! I LOVED all the little kiddos excited to loudly test the acoustics in various places! Thanks for sharing.
We so enjoyed this video had to watch it twice! As an artist, loved the rocks, water, and caves. Thank you for posting this! I know I will be watching it again.
Fantastic family outing - if exhausting! Thanks indeed for bringing us along. I'm so amazed I've never heard of this place, let alone never been here. Some epic geology. I'm imaging some enormous floods ripping through this already weathered and permeable landscape, tearing up the sandstone and carving these huge channels and waterfalls, dragging & tumbling some of those massive boulders & rocky fragments to their new resting places. Would have made interesting homes for ancient peoples. Quite wonderous landscape. Thanks for the experience. Your kids are a credit & lots of fun.
Some of the slump rocks that fell off the cliffs are just huge and amazing. One rock at that last location was like the size of a small house and was all covered in moss.
@@MichiganRocks Must say it looked a fantastic location - I don't understand how I never heard of it. I've been to many more much lesser places! And it's such a fun spot for families - I loved how it said no wading or swimming! Might as well say Don't eat the ICE CREAM!! Really enjoyed seeing it, thanks.
Glad to see you guys finally got to O -H-I-O and you picked a great area for rock climbing And cool formations. Hope you enjoyed yourselves in the great state of OHIO!! Go Bucks!!
How have you not known this about Ohio? The Appalachian Mountains begin in Ohio. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is also amazing in NE Ohio. Eastern Ohio is extremely hilly with waterfalls, caves, dense forests, cliffs, I could go on and on.
Because when I drive through Ohio on my way to Florida, I don't see any of that. I think most people in Michigan picture Ohio looking flat and boring, sort of like southern Michigan. I know better now though.
Such a beautiful place, pictures and video don't do it justice! Spent a few days down there a couple years ago with the family, would highly recommend it!
WOWOWOW~! That place is stunning....thank you for the trip~ AND...you sure got your future rock picking partner right there~ He is into rocks~ BIG TIME!
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Joeseph. He has really grown ! Wow, I had no idea Ohio had anything like that. That must be southern Ohio as norther Ohio is much the same as northern Indiana and southern Michigan. You can tell the place is well visited as some of the stone steps are worn down from the traffic. Truly spectacular !!! Thanks for sharing Rob.
When I think of Ohio, I always picture the northern, flat part as well. This was in the south, so it's more like Kentucky. Joe has grown a lot since you've seen him. There have been a few requests to see him, so I was happy to get into a video again.
Rob, Nancy and Family.... Rock-ON! I have been to many places in my 80 years but that ranks up with the family locations. Little Joe is a hoot, the joys of babyhood:) I grew up down the Jersey Shore and now live in Ferndale, WA and every day on You Tube see places we missed back East. Seize everyday and every minute, they are so precious! Cheers, Rik Spector
WOW ! What a wonderful place ! I had so much fun watching this beautiful National park with all its wonders , so many waterfalls and caves truly left me in awe of Gods awesome creation ! Joe is so sweet and adorable 💖😘 thank you for taking us along on this amazing trip 💗💐
God just keeps on amazing me. Each spot we went to seemed better than the last. We equally enjoyed Joe. This video was shot a couple weeks ago and now Joe is at our house visiting for the weekend. We're lucky to see so much of him.
@@MichiganRocks Howlovel to have joe with you over the weekend ! I think grand children are God’s precious gifts to grand parent in particular to give them joy in the later years of their lives ! I truly enjoy my 5 grandchildren ( the oldest is 10 and the youngest 4 ) 💗
You're pushing the limits of what you can say in the comments here. I can't believe you mentioned the "C" place. You did redeem yourself in the next sentence though.
Wow! All of the places you visited are spectacular! Between the cliffs, rocks steps everywhere, the water falls, caves and the greenery, the beauty is unbelievable. What an amazing area. Thank you for sharing this Rob!✌️🤠
I always recommend a basic pair of hiking sticks when hiking Hocking Hills. I bought mine at Walmart and they have been serving me well for over 8 years.
I live in Ohio... (Please don't judge) ;) I've made three trips to Porcupine Mts. State Park on Lake Superior and I think that is one of the most beautiful places I have been!! Glad you enjoyed your visit!
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us!! I grew up in Ohio and my aunt and uncle took me and my sisters there when we were young. I’ve always cherished that memory, and get to see this place again so many years later in your awesome video.
You have done a amazing job of depicting Hocking Hills. I recently moved from my own piece of heaven, perched on top a hill totally secluded after 27 years. Your videos are a wonderful way of remembering all my years enjoying the grandeur of the hills.. Thank you.. 😊
I'll bet! Some places reminded me of some waterfalls around Munising, Michigan. Check out this video to see what I mean: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-raY6T-QpQ80.html
I'm 54 and have walked every trail in Hocking Hills many many times. No matter how many times I see Rock House it's a treat. My favorite hike is the upper rim trail at Conkle's Hollow. I'm glad you and your family discovered our hidden gem.
That was an awesome vacation, one of my favorites. We only did one trail at Conkle's Hollow and it seemed to be low, rather than high. Now I want to go back and do the other trail. I couldn't believe that every trail we did was better than the last. I thought the first day was so good that we'd be disappointed by everything after. Boy, was I wrong.
@@MichiganRocks the upper rim trail gets narrow at points, but is very managable. There are a couple of uncovered cliff areas where you can see the whole Hollow and far beyond. If you ever make it back; I highly suggest that trail.
Looks like a really pretty place!! Thanks for the good share! That Devil's Bathtub is neat. If you all enjoyed that, you may want to consider Red River Gorge in KY. It also happens to be next door to the best agate county in our state. If you haven't already, check both out online, and if you ever plan to visit, message me via one of the Facebook groups, and I can recommend some agate hunt guides.
Really cool. The power of nature and how it transforms the land, I think it is awesome you still go on family vacations. Most kids anymore would rather hang out at home, there is so much to see in this great nation.
If someone says to me "Ohio is boring & flat" the 1st thing I think of is Hocking Hills, & I tell them how very wrong they are. I can't tell you how much time I've spent in all these areas. My favorite place in Ohio is the upper rim trail of Conkle's Hollow, in the fall (the beautiful colors of the leaves). You'll have to come back and do that hike! sometime
I thought Ohio was flat and boring too, until I went to Hocking Hills. Last week I spent a day at Cedar Point, which is also not flat or boring if you are on rollercoasters.
Thanks, Rob... Never been to, but so glad you took us along for the tour... Oh, I'm a big 'Michigan Rocks' fan too... We got alotta rocks out here in Northern Colorado, so I think I better get started ;-)
Nice [lace u taking us today.thanks for letting us tag along with your family.we have places like this on the coast of Australia.we have caves at caves beach near Swansea .have a look on the map I’d Australia on the nsw Cosby.this place in Ohio is awesome.
I just looked at the map and some pictures of Caves Beach. It's really beautiful there. I like how they've left a nice natural area along the coast, keeping the town of Swansea back from the beach.
