Ash Cave in Hocking Hills Ohio

Most of Columbus Ohio is flat terrain.  Except for Ash Cave in Hocking Hills.  Ash Cave is a huge  natural cave with a waterfall.  Native Americans used to live and hold ceremonies in Ash Cave.  The natives made so many fires there that when it was first discovered by settlers the floor of the cave had a thick layer of ashes.

It's an incredible hiking spot and even a place where people can hold a small wedding.  Today, Imre, Amy, and I hiked into the woods to see Ash Cave and to take an unexpected dip in the waterfall.  It was probably one of the most beautiful times to hike into Ash Cave because of all the spring growth.  The trees and plants were exploding with a brilliant green that us who live in Southern California don't get to see.
