speedytriple Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) So in a few weeks I am taking my 10, and 12 y/o boys for there first tent camping weekend besides cubscouts. I was thinking aep coal land off rt 83, they have a site right on the buckeye trail. We will be tent camping out of the car, but backpacking during the day for 2 days. Planning to use this as a learning/fun trip for the most part. They both want to start their own fire with emergency type techniques which ought to be fun. Anyone else ever do the buckeye trail before? Anythings that are a must do/see? Edited July 22, 2013 by speedytriple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 The Buckeye Trail is a whole system of trails all around the state. I've done parts in Cuy Valley Natl Park, CVNP . There are a couple waterfalls, Buttermilk and Blue Hen Falls near Boston Mills. Then in Wayne Natl Forest in SE Ohio there is one of the better natural arches in the state. But here's the website. It really is all over the state. Hope that helps. http://buckeyetrail.org 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 It was gonna be wayne or aep, but aep is half as far away. The kids are pumped for this trip. Wish I could find a place nearby to shoot that would top the trip off. I am still looking for a local cheap place to shoot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) So just got back from camping all weekend. With the exception of the rain on Saturday it turned out to be a great trip. Kids had fun even in the on/off rain we had. And two thumbs up to aep for a great, clean well kept campsite.
