A Beautiful Night at Rock Mill Park

We've had tremendous weather here in Ohio: sunny and warm with no humidity. So, last night, we headed to Rock Mill Park in rural Fairfield County, near Lancaster. The site is being developed by the Fairfield park system and is unique for having both a nineteenth century grist mill and covered bridge of similar vintage. The water power for the mill was provided by the Hocking River, at a point where it's particularly narrow.

While we were there, a photographer was snapping pictures of a young woman who wandered barefooted in the shallow water. They'll probably be part of her portfolio of high school senior pictures.

Three Great Southeastern Ohio Eateries

Here are three terrific places at which we've enjoyed reasonably-priced meals since our recent move to Logan, Ohio:

The Spotted Owl
Great Expectations
The Four Reasons

Hocking County, with its numerous state parks, cliffs, caves, and the gorgeous Hocking Hills, is a beautiful place. I'm told that annually, it attracts 2-million visitors, double the number who go to Yellowstone Park each year. If you come to Hocking County sometime soon, be sure to check out one of these great places to eat while here. (The Four Reasons is in nearby historic Lancaster, county seat of Fairfield County.)

[IN THE COMMENTS: I'm corrected on my information regarding the numbers of people visiting Yellowstone Park. Thanks for that! Nonetheless, Hocking County and southeastern Ohio are beautiful.]
