Me, today, at the summit of Mt. Eve…..sorry, Jenny Jump State Park.

Swamp weeds. From deep into the Great Swamp.

Cass W.V State Park, scenic railroad. The railroad went to a lumber logging area on top of Bald Mtn., second highest mountain in W.V.

This is a three day trip I recommend. The town consists of a couple of buildings that were owned by the time=ber company. Workers' houses are now rented out to tourists. Two houses for two nights, 3 bedrooms per house.$780. with 10 % senior discount. 

7 hours drive time. Train ride is from 12:00 to 4:30.

Park has music and other festivals throughout the year. W.V. state parks are excellent values.

Word on the street (grandkid input) is that it was an awesome trip…

No. I don't know how that went south.

Minquin Woods Preserve, Glen Gardner, NJ

former Boy Scout camp. Now, a county park.

Lockatong Wildlife Management Area, Hunterdon County. Rocks, several water spills and an Eagle's nest right at the entrance... this place has it all. 

Usually, there are teens and young adults in the stream. I'm surprised there were none today.

Pipersville, Pa.

Jockey Hollow, Tempe Wick house, barn and farm land.

I was at my stepdaughter’s this afternoon. Cedar Run, NJ, an inlet, off Barnagat Bay.

Anyways, I was giving the dogs their goodbye hugs, when I looked up and saw this.  

5 minutes later, reflections in the water.

Lost River Caverns Hlertown, Pa. This one of the places we drive by, entering Pennsylvania, Rt. 78. There are one or two signs for it on 78 and you figure, "Why bother?" I've been to Lauray. 

Yeah, I've been to Lauray but this one is still fun. About an hour's tour and a good place to take kids on an afternoon.
