What a great evening – we sat outside by the fire pit talking to other guests and were lucky enough to find a couple who had been to Bryce and Zion Parks in Utah and they were kind enough to give us some helpful hints. Decided to head to our room and get out of my smoky clothes and when I looked out the window I saw the sky was beautiful. So headed outside – ended up walking over to Wisp to try and get a better view. I forgot the pond was there and loved the reflections. Could not decide which one of the two photos I like the best – I like this one because of the small dock and it leads you into the picture and gives you the feeling you are walking off a pier into the great unknown. I like the other picture because of the colors. Your thoughts

The Oakland B&O Train Station. The first train reached Oakland in 1821. This is the third train station and was built in 1844-85 Numerous famous people have walked through this train station – President and Mrs Cleveland, Presidents Grant and Harrison and even Buffalo Bill Cody
Beautiful day again today so we headed to Swallow Falls State Park. A lot of other people had the same idea – the parking lot was full. We walked the trail and were surprised at the number of downed trees – result of Hurricane Sandy. There was a note saying that it took over 3000 man hours to clear the trees. Some of the trees were over 300 years old. This is a picture of Muddy Creek Falls. A bit of history – In the summer of 1921, calling themselves the vagabonds, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone camped at Muddy Creek Falls.[
