Looking forward, looking back

A couple of weeks ago, we went away for the weekend with a couple of friends and went to Hocking Hills State Park here in Ohio. What a wonderful getaway it was. The temperature was in the lower-mid 40's during the day, which made for some excellent weather for hiking on Saturday. I took a lot of beautiful pictures on the trip and the scenery was great, not to mention the fact that I had a good time with the people that I went with. I think that this weekend was perfect for getting away from a lot of stuff and not having to worry about anything. Jeff even left his cell phone at home so we didn't have that to worry about; thankfully I might add.

A couple of things that I saw over that weekend, however, did annoy me a lot. Mainly, it was children ruining the icicles that were hanging from the rocks in the caves. They annoyed me becuase they were knocking down some beautiful additions to the scenery of Old Man's Cave. So many icicles handing overhead, or running down the walls that I was just enchanted by them. I felt badly because I found myself hoping that one of them would have an icicle smack them on top of the head; but not in a killing way like piercing their skull or anything, just tipping over and banging them on the head. I think that if I got to see something like that happen, I would have laughed for a long, long time. Oh well, maybe next time I go when it is really cold, I'll get to se something like that and feel better for watching them destroy something th tI was really enjoying.
