Slumming around Pennsylvania
« on: June 25, 2008, 11:39:21 AM »
Here are some snapshots from my visit to Pennsylvania last weekend.  I spent Saturday hiking the Falls Trail in Ricketts Glenn State Park near Scranton, PA and Sunday around the Delaware Water Gap Nat'l Rec Area on the Pennsylvania/New Jersey border.  I have many more waterfall pictures, but here are a few.












This bear was right next to the trail when I walked by and heard him.  I walked up the trail and managed to zoom in and get this snapshot from a safe distance.


This is the Delaware Water Gap.  I am on Mt Tammany.  Mt Minsi is on the opposite of the Delaware river that flows below.

Nice Randell...if anyone ever needed a DSLR, it was you. You've really taken it up a notch since you got the new camera.

Did anyone notice the tags on bear's ears?

People were really enjoying the cool weather and cooler water:


Here are a couple of other random photos...
