Grand Opening at Honey Ridge!

If you are looking for a lovely two-bedroom cabin in the Hocking Hills, check out Honey Ridge at www.honey-ridge.com. It will be available for rental beginning August 19.

Honey Ridge is owned, operated and BUILT by our dear friends Beth & Chuck Marousek. The cottage, which is located on top of a heavily wooded ridge, is very private and has a large deck overlooking a ravine. Beth has put her special touch on everything associated with Honey Ridge, so be prepared for a relaxing vacation in a special spot. It's close to all of the major Hocking Hills attractions including Ash Cave, Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls. . .

Beth and Chuck also have a small herd of dairy goats. Last year, we were lucky enough to get our two girls, Stormy & Crystal, from their herd. They are also bee keepers and gardeners. Plus, Chuck is an extraordinarily talented home builder. You will be well taken care of at Honey Ridge!

So if our cabin at Marsh Hollow is not available, or if you need two bedrooms, be sure to consider staying at Honey Ridge.

Hocking Hills State Park: Perseid Meteor Shower

Bring a lawn chair or blanket to the Hocking Hills State Park, 8 p.m. on August 12 at the dining lodge, to view this month's Perseid meteor shower.

Check out the Ohio Department of Natural Resources press release at www.dnr.state.oh.us/news/aug05/0802meteor.htm.

The Perseids come every year, beginning in late July and stretching into August. Sky watchers outdoors at the right time can see colorful fireballs, occasional outbursts and, almost always, long hours of gracefully streaking meteors. Among the many nights of the shower, there is always one night that is best. This year: August 12th. And here's a a great NASA link concerning this year's display: science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/22jul_perseids2005.htm.
