I always like to save money in Lancaster,Ohio and enjoy My Quality Time
Welcome to your Entertainment® Online 14-Day Free Trial
You have 14 days remaining.
I just signed up and printed off several two for one restaurant coupons for Lancaster,Ohio. Will be trying one out for lunch at the local
1348 Ety Road
Lancaster, Ohio 43130
740.653.7700
Yesterday I took a quick trip to Old Mans’s Cave Campground and the State Park dining lodge pool. There were thunderstorms around so I didn’t expect many swimmers and I wanted to see what the campground looked like after the holiday weekend..I really like the hocking hills area and feel fortunate that Lancaster is in relatively close proximity.
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF BUT THIS IS WHERE I WILL BE DOING SOME CAMPING AND SWIMMING THIS SUMMER.
The pool is open Memorial Day thru Labor Day and the hours are 11:00 am till 7:00 pm weather permitting
Daily individual passes are: Adults $3.50,Children $3.00 under 3yrs old free and 10% discount for Golden Buckeye card holders (that is me).. Seasonal passes are also available. This is what I was hoping to see::
Next I checked out the Campground.
I stopped by the camp office (740) 385-6841 and had a chat with a very helpful Melissa. “ There are 172 campsites at the campground and over the holiday weekend they were mostly full. For the following weekend there were still 36 sites available . So it is best to make reservations ahead of time.”
The “old” shower rooms and restrooms…I thought everything looked “pristine” which is pretty good after a busy weekend.
But I waited till I got home to make some of my famous CAMP COFFEE on the old Coleman stove..
That’s all for today folks Joe Todd

BROS. AN GREE HAS HAD HIS DAY IN COURT:

I have lived in Ohio my entire life and this was my first trip to New Straitsville (about one hour from my home town Lancaster Ohio) and the MOONSHINE FESTIVAL MAY 21-25TH
The cave is actually a sandstone outcropping common in the unglaciated region of Ohio. It is named after Seth Robinson the man who owned this property and operated a mine in the 1880’s. The cave was used as a secret meeting place for coal miners in the 1880’s. In 1884 Chris Evans originally from England led the regions miners in the historic hocking valley coal strike. During the strike it is believed that angry miners met at the cave before soaking loaded coal cars with kerosene setting them afire and pushing them into the mines
The event actually turned into a tourist attraction..
This action lit the worlds largest underground mine fire which burned thousands of acres..In 1889 Evans was elected executive secretary of the American Federation of Labor (A.F.of L.)
So we end the trip to New Straitsville with a stop at the “soda fountain” for some cool lemonade and a couple B.L.T’s.
This is the trail we didn’t take
Sometimes one needs to stay off the “Road Less Traveled”
We had frost Monday and Tuesday night and had to cover most plants in the garden ( what a pain ) Fortunately we didn’t loose any plants. The temperature in Lancaster, Ohio today is suppose to get up to 80 degrees. All I can say is “that is Ohio weather for you.” Project for next few days; clean garage, tear down and get rid of old metal storage shed, and put together new 8x10 shed. OOPS just got a phone call, Dick J. wants to go golfing . Probably Valley View Golf Club. Valley View Golf Club is located in Fairfield County, Lancaster, OH, an area that is rich in history. The golf course was designed in 1956, using the natural terrain. It was built over the first road constructed in Ohio, and a monument still stands to mark the place today. 
I do know if I don’t get off the computer nothing is going to get done. Hope everyone has a great day.
As a side note the Wednesday meeting of the Common sense club has been canceled. Bros. An Gree will be in court today and most members of the club will be there to offer there support.
