I have two buddies who go often for hikes at Evansburg State Park.  Rob and Paul. It’s close; just 15 minutes from my house.  Why have I not gone there?  Not sure.  I went once and got confused about where to start.  Weird.  It seemed so simple this time. It was a damp day but […]

I miss my car and my S.A. home. That’s our 2 story Victorian Townhouse. And that’s my Mitsubishi Pajaro 2800. My wife bought the house years ago. I love that house. The metal “Brookie Lace” or ornate iron work on the outside and the Oregon Pine woodwork inside have such character. It breaks my heart […]

If you come to my blog and there are only photos, come back for the words.  If you see mistakes, come back if you want.  I proof in step three. Upload photos, write, proof.  I can’t sit still long enough to do all three at once! I love doing this. This writing.  I have to […]

The Mc Dade Trail.  It runs between PA Rt 209 and the Delaware River nearly all the way from Bushkill to Milford, PA.  It starts out gravelly and then changes from farm road to woodland trail. I saw him/her in the distance and hoped it was a Box Turtle. Funny, I’m pretty sure it’s a […]

Forgot to get back to this post! If you haven’t explored Sandy Hook and you’re a Jersey Shore lover like me, go! I always take a toy. This time it was my bike. There’s a bike path the length of the park. It’s kind of a bore. I like to just explore the North end. […]

  I wanted to identify with my friend Karma, but I knew I couldn’t do 17 miles a day. So. I did back to back 10Ks. Peace Valley Park. It may not sound like much, actually, to me it doesn’t sound like much anymore, (thank you hikers) but I have never done that much distance […]

Sometimes the best thing for nurturing the Light Within is doing absolutely nothing. I’m a member of a fellowship who’s advice, when feeling down, is to reach out and help someone else. It works to get one out of oneself and turns the focus of your thoughts to another.  The sometimes problem with that is […]

So today I went back in time. It’s been many years since I’ve been to this magical place. So many railed pathways. So much kitsch. That bear and sign have been there for at least 50 years. The Falls was purchased in 1906. When it opened to the public there was only one rope bridge […]

Thats me.  Months ago.  Before all the thyroid stuff.  Today the surgeon threw me a curve.  By the way, I am not feeling well.  Tired.  Depressed a little.  Not myself. So, back to the curve.  My surgeon said unless I would worry about whether there is more cancer in the other side, (half is gone […]

Thank you “Outi!” For a very long time I have been under the misconception that Mohonk is in the Catskills. It’s in the “Gunks.” The Shawangunk Mountains.  I’m not sure how this started in my brain. Maybe I looked at a large map and generalized too much. I suppose it’s like me calling The Poconos, […]
