Watkins Glen

I wanted to say that this post is a milestone as far as previous entries go. I wanted to say that this was the farthest destination I've documented. But if I claimed that, I'd be lying. After all, I did briefly post some photos of New Orleans, which is significantly farther from me than Watkins Glen. (That post was rather lack-luster I will admit.)

What I can say though, is that this park was truly a destination. It was profound. I had never experienced a landscape like that before and I was totally blown away. First off, I don't doubt that walking through the trail astounds everyone, but I had the pleasure of taking the long way which made all the difference.

Cabin in the Woods (aka Return to Kakiat)

Sunday was about as gorgeous as anyone could hope an October weekend to be. The air was crisp and refreshing, without being overly chilly. The sun was shining. It was a perfect day for a stroll in the woods. The goal was to find the abandoned cabin in the woods that we failed at finding last time. I vaguely remembered its location and we set off to it immediately after arriving. It didn't take long, honestly. A short walk from the parking lot, past the dog park, through some deep piles of leaves, along the Mahwah River, and finally up the hill.
