canyonwalkerOhio Waterfalls Travelog #26
Dublin, OH · Tue, 21 Apr 2026. 7pm
Today was a day of good parts and... not-so-good parts. Before I dwell on the negatives let me hit the high notes: We went on three waterfalls hikes in the area today. They were Hayden Falls, Millikin Falls, and Indian Run Falls. Each was short but relaxing and peaceful for how quickly we could get away from the burgeoning city around us. Oh, and the weather was beautiful. No more "WTF? It's only 43?!" like yesterday. Today it was in the mid-70s. I'm just doing daily updates right now, so I'll come back later and post details— and pictures!— from each of these hikes.
So, what was not-so-good? Mostly that I spent the whole morning not feeling well. First I slept in 'til, like, 9:30. It was late enough that I missed the hotel's breakfast. Not a problem, I figured; I'd just eat one of the various proteins bars I packed on the trip. I carry them both as car/airplane/trail snacks as well as in case any of the hotel breakfasts are unpalatable.But after eating a bar I had a painful knot in my stomach. I don't know if that was something bad about the bar— it's a newer variety I'm trying— or if it was a side effect of Ozempic. I lean toward the latter though it could also be some of the former, as well.
I took it easy in the hotel room until around noon. By then my stomach was feeling better... but I was also hungry. Hawk and I packed our bags for hiking and agreed to stop for some lunch first. We did that, and my stomach felt better after a solid meal. And the morning's rest. I enjoyed those three hikes in the afternoon without further problems.
This evening I've been taking it easy again. No, not because I'm feeling unwell. Hawk is meeting up with a former colleague who lives nearby. I opted out of joining them for dinner so they could dish the gossip. Instead I made a light dinner out of the hors d'oeuvres buffet the hotel offers in the evening and then came back up to the room to veg on the sofa with my computer. It's nice to have some downtime that's not because I'm feeling sick.
