ACCESSIBLE OHIO -- PART 7


CONKLE’S HOLLOW AND ASH CAVE,
IN THE HOCKING HILLS
 
Over the years, tens of thousands had the pleasure of crossing paths with local sage Leland Conner.

The spry retiree was an author and expert on Native American history and folklore.

He brought history alive with his colorful stories of encounters between white settlers and Indians.

But sadly, these kind man who also was astutely aware of access issues, died along with his wife in a crash caused by a teen who stole a vehicle.

When you hike the Hocking Hills, think of Leland's gentle soul.

The Hocking County Tourism Association at the Hocking Hills Regional Welcome Center, 13178 Rt. 664 S., can arrange a tour guide.

Phone 1-800-HOCKING, or 1-740-385-9706.
