Having the girls with us, Karol opted to take us to Ash Cave, as it has a paved path all the way to the cave. She borrowed a stroller from a co-worker to go along with the one I brought and we walked the quarter mile or so back to the cave together. It was pretty funny though, as we could've stopped about 50 feet from the parking lot and spent the whole time there. There was a wooden bridge that went over a tiny stream and the girls were completely content to stand there and throw rocks, sticks, and dirt off of the bridge into the water. A two hour drive to throw rocks into the water... I don't think so!!
We urged the girls onward and finally made it after quite a few more rock throwing pauses. The cave was much bigger than what I had pictured. In fact, I'm pretty sure I read it was the biggest one in Ohio.
