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.[

Handyman’s Special. On the way back from Finzel Swamp I noticed this house and of course I had to stop and take some photos.

We have driven by the signs for the Drane House numerous times but never stopped until today. The Drane House was built in 1798 in Accident Maryland. It is a key landmark in the early history of Western Maryland and a vital part of its heritage. In fact, it is believed to be the oldest standing structure in Garrett County.

Snowboarding or sunbathing. We just had our first real winter snowstorm and imagine people were wishing they were someplace warmer Me – I was one of the crazy people that was outside during the snowstorm last night taking pictures. I wish I could have spent the morning outside taking photos but had to go to work. Rubber duckies – gifts from the Lake Pointe Inn in Deep Creek. They always have a rubber duckie that reflects the season in your room when you check in. The snowboarding duckie is their newest one.
