While exploring the countryside south east of…read moreBedford, I crossed into Jackson County just west of Leesville and wondered whether I would find this preserve or not! Fortunately, I could tell I was on the right path as I headed uphill, losing site of the Guthrie River as I headed upward. Fortunately, before I lost patience, I finally saw the pull off on the north side of the road for the reserve. From the gravel parking lot, I followed the most visible path northward and saw the sign in box. The natural footing trail headed to the west and was marked by blue plastic markers on the trees. The forest is a mix of Eastern Hemlock and hardwood trees that line the bluff that overlooks the lowlands to the north of the river. The largest hemlock in the state is located within these woods at nearly three feet in diameter. The trail makes a turn to the north after about 250 yards. The new trail path walks much closer to the dropoff and offers some better views of the river and lowlands. There is a bench to relax upon. I will say that if you are afraid of heights, then you may feel a bit uncomfortable with the view, but the trail is set on fairly level footing, so using common sense and being aware of your surroundings should keep you safe. I didn't walk the entire trail around the 44 acre preserve, but chose to double back on the original path. It is a remote and very private setting where you can experience a stand of trees that date back before the glacial clearing. Review #2014

This hotel is ok, but I didn't know somethings going in, that I wish I had. The biggest one is…read moreCELL PHONE RECEPTION IN THE PARK/INN IS SPOTTY AT BEST. I stayed for two nights. I was worried that my elder parents or pet sitters would not be able to get ahold of me. No room phones either. Wifi was also spotty. Wifi didn't work more than it worked in my room. Be prepared for lots of walking. I had an injured person in my party, and she wasn't able to do most things. Also, the room was small! The bathroom door was only two feet wide and the bathroom itself was very narrow. One of the beds was against the wall. Also the restaurant was buffet only. There was no menu ordering. Now that I have complained a lot, heres the nice things. Staff was very nice. Things were very clean. Parking in the garage was easy. Each room had a minisplit heat/ac unit. It worked very well. There is a page in the room binder on how to change the temperature, fan speed, and blowing pattern. The beds were very comfortable and came with six pillows on each bed. There was an in room refrigerator.The Pioneer Village was very nice. It was also very nice that a church service was offered in the Pioneer Village. I greatly enjoyed it, but only happened to find out about it by accident. I didn't visit it, but there was a game room available. I really enjoyed the outdoor patios at the hotel. They are conveniently located and well kept. The view from the patios of the large trees and rolling hills was beautiful.

No plastic bags in the dirty wastebasket. The one hook in bathroom is turned to the wall so you can't hang anything on it. Was told during two separate telephone conversations that there would be a breakfast buffet on Friday mornings. No breakfast buffet on Friday. Only one waitress. Only thing ordered that was edible were the pancakes. The dining room does not open until eight in the morning. No coffee available in the lobby. Will never stay here again.

Huber's Family Fun Park was such a cute, wholesome field trip destination…read more I chaperoned my son's trip there last week, and you could tell that the staff here really have hosting field trips down. After we got off our bus, we were shepherded to a three minute or so talk about how seeds grow into pumpkins, with rules of the pumpkin field (don't pick the green pumpkins!). And then the kids were given plastic pumpkins bags and let loose on the field. I also appreciated that this was an actual pumpkin field and not just a spot of ground where pre-picked pumpkins are strewn about. It was a bit muddy that day, but that didn't seem to dampen the fun. My son picked a great, small pumpkin to bring home with him. After that we stowed our pumpkins and grabbed our lunches, which we ate in a picnic pavilion. The only thing I'd caution with this is that the bathrooms, which are port 'o' potties, are in another area, and there weren't great options for washing dirty hands before eating. After we ate, we had about 20 minutes to play. The Family Fun Park boasts an expansive playing area with giant farm animals figures, diminutive play houses that kids can walk through, other playground equipment and bounce house-like trampolines. It was just enough activity to then make the bus ride back quiet, with several kids napping in their seats. I'm not sure the kids learned a lot on this trip, but it was fun and enjoyed by pretty much everyone who came along.

At the very entrance of the site is an exterior building and fenced off play area labeled "family fun park". The price is $6 a person to enter for anyone over the age of 12. And while they do have lots of cool things to see and experience for little ones anyone over the age of 12 will feel a smidge bit shafted as majority is aimed at the very young kids. That said it is a great value for kids under the age of 12. Very imaginative and massive sized playgrounds and play sets, a beautiful koi pond, wagon rides, inflatable bounces, tricycle races, a huge tunnel slide, bamboo mazes and corn mazes. There truly is a lot to do. My kiddos loved the houses sized doll houses to play in. The tire slide was popular as well as the small bounce inflatables. The bamboo maze and corn maze were relatively small and easy to navigate sticking to the young age theme but they were still eat. Especially the bamboo maze as I've never seen one of those before. I kinda wish the pricing was better and fair for adults or teens. Like my 13 year old was bummed as most things had size and age restrictions. But we still had good fun here and spent 2-3 hours playing. So it ultimately is a good value for the little ones .

If you've ever looked at a rock and thought, "Wow, that looks like a giant ceramic moonshine jug,"…read morethen congratulations--you may be spiritually connected to Jug Rock. Nestled in the scenic hills of Martin County, Jug Rock is exactly what it sounds like: a big ol' rock that somehow defied gravity, erosion, and logic to become Indiana's most charming geological oddity. It's nature's version of a middle finger to physics and a beautiful one at that. Getting there feels like a mini adventure--you'll drive through a peaceful little town, maybe wave to a few cows, and then boom: there it is, standing tall like it's just waiting to be Instagrammed. You don't climb it (please don't climb it), but you do stand in front of it and try to make serious faces in photos next to something that looks like it belongs in a Looney Tunes desert scene. Is it just a rock? Technically yes. Is it also a hilarious and majestic reminder that nature sometimes gets weird? Absolutely. Bring a camera, bring your sense of humor, and prepare to be humbled by Indiana's finest jug that isn't full of cider. 10/10 would rock again.

The tours are in high demand, so make sure someone from your group gets there a few minutes before 9 to line up to schedule your time slot for the day. We did a tour with tour guide Morgan a few weeks ago, and it was awesome! Very interesting and educational. The tour takes about 20 minutes and you get to see a lot of different areas of the cave with different features, as well as some crayfish! There is one part where you can reach out and touch the cave as well. The boat is small and all riders straddle the bench inside for the duration of the tour. Could be difficult for older people and a little scary for some folks, especially those who have claustrophobic tendencies. You also need to be able to go down 85 steps to get to the boat and back up those steps after the tour. Life jackets are provided! Important to mention that my family is NOT outdoorsy at all, but we really enjoyed the tour! I recommend wearing a hat of some sort to prevent panic if any water drips on you as you go through. Highly recommend to those visiting the park!!
