Day 20 - South Bloomingville (day 2)

Today was pretty much all wet, all day.  We woke to rain and explored in the rain.  There were a few short breaks in the rain. The sun was able to lighten the sky a little, but never made a full arrival.

We drove 199 miles and visited 3 state campgrounds: Lake Hope, Strouds Run and Forked Run.

On the way …
OH-278 between Lake Hope and Nelsonville is the best free roller-coaster ride we've taken.
We saw a lot of these ... and they said it all!

Lake Hope State Campground …
This campground has new, paved entry and access roads.  It has lots of trees, is rustic and is very pretty.

Strouds Run Campground …
This is a small, privately run, self-service campground. It’s not for us.

Forked Run State Campground …
This campground was a delightful surprise. Even though their summer maintenance has been delayed by rain, it made a great first impression.

End of day …
We returned to our Hocking Hills campsite by 6:30pm. It’s cold and damp. We turned on the furnace for the first time this week.

Tomorrow …
We’re going to visit Burr Oak (our final campground of the trip) and then head home.
