This was our 1st stop after we left the house and made a fast pit-stop at Wawa's.

So the trailhead proved to be somewhat elusive, but in the end, we found a service road that eventually got us on it.
The ATVs use the trail as well, so there are plenty of mud spots...
Of course, weЧитать далее

We made it to the summit and marveled at views again.
We spent some time on this little opening, had some lunch, and rested. Mosquitoes were still relentless, though...
So we traversed the other sideЧитать далее
Путешественник Are they bigger than NJ mosquitoes? 😳 Happy Birthday! Views are beautiful.
Путешественник No they are not but I believe they are more...bloodthirsty 🙄

As many of you know, today is Laurie's birthday, and I was all set to take her out to a nice dinner.
I forgot where we are!!!
Not only does one have to go completelyЧитать далее
Путешественник Sorry about your dinner plans. ☹️ But wine and cheese is good! 😃 Beautiful sunset.
Путешественник Yes, we've learned to live with "what it is". We probably will try for that dinner tomorrow night
Путешественник Making the best of what is possible always seems to be a good idea to me.

Today we squeezed in 2 relatively sort hikes.
The partial problem is that, although there are abundance of places, it takes forever to get to them. This one, Shin Falls, was about 35 minutes drive -Читать далее
Путешественник Laurie looks like she is having fun -- Allan, maybe not so much
Путешественник Was bit too humid for me...plus I was still struggling with selfies

The trail unfortunately turned out not well marked at all. We completely missed the turn, therefore never making it to the loop and the Lower Falls.
Perhaps it was for the best - many reviews mentionЧитать далее
