I’ll just share a few more pictures from my day at Old Forge with my sister Cheryl. We had a great time at the top of McCauley mountain, even hiking a short trail, which my old body found challenging. Mostly I enjoyed the views.
Too bad about the colors this year.
There were a few good vantage points. I would like to go back one year when the colors are brighter, but I certainly enjoyed what I saw.
Cheryl is the one in yellow.
Cheryl doesn’t usually like to pose for pictures, but she agreed to this one, because she is partially hiding behind the rock. It is one of the rocks we encountered on the trail we walked. A sign said it was about a 20 minute loop, but I neglected to look at my watch when we started so do not know how long it took. There were some pretty good ups and downs, and my legs were feeling they had had a work-out when we finished, which was nice, since I had not gone running that morning.
I did not borrow a stick.
After coming down from the mountain, we walked around Old Forge, checking out a few of the shops. I did not take many pictures but could not resist a shot of a Stick Library. I can’t help thinking one of those would be useful at the bottom of the trail, only bigger ones you can use while hiking. Then again, maybe any Stick Library is not such a good idea. I can get pretty annoying sometimes; somebody might use one to hit me with.
