Travel With the Gleasons

Today's podcast will give you all hints and tips about Alum Creek State Park in Lewis Center, Ohio. I cover boating, hiking, fishing, where to swim, and a review of the campground.

We have been prepping for our first camping trip of the season and it has been interesting to get ready for a trip post Coronavirus lockdown. I’ve done a few things differently this year and wanted to share some of the steps we are taking to ensure a cleaner and safe camping experience.Planning a camping trip anytime can be overwhelming but camping post-COVID lockdown concerns make it even more challenging, I think with prepared thoughtfulness, it is doable!

As COVID-19 has ravaged our nation, I’ve had some time to look at what makes the most sense for our summer travel. We travel to learn and explore the fantastic locations around our nation. However, this year, I am looking at it through it in a different lense.

There are some adventures that take me by surprise and throw me out of my comfort zone, but they end up being something I never forget. Matt and I went on a hosted trip to Fairfield County where we were invited to try a Jet Pack Water flight with Jet Pack Water Adventures in Lancaster, Ohio, located only 10 short minutes from Hocking Hills!We love adventures and trying new things, so the quick answer was YES! However, once I realized what it was, I was going to do, I started to have some doubts. Am I strong enough to do this? Is the instructor qualified? What is a jet pack water adventure anyway?!?I am excited to share with you about our experience, how we did it and my top reasons you should try it!
