This fallen tree blocked half of the trail and although I considered squeezing around it I decided not to try since it had rained so much, the soil was soft, and the fall was steep. What made this interesting was the fact that the tree was sliding down the bank and while I was cutting I could tell these limbs were under a heavy load. I took my time and cut slowly making sure I was not going to catch the unexpected transformation of all the potential energy into kinetic.
I carry two different size Silky saws - this is the larger one. It is made in Japan and is a fine tool.
Looking out over West Branch Susquehanna River.
In the mountains it is common to find railroad lines running adjacent to rivers. In some areas there just is not enough room to also squeeze a road in also so here is an interesting way to reinforce the grade for the tracks while permitting a road to squeeze by. I would have loved to watch a train pass.
OK, one more shot of this beautiful river. The rain and the mist mixed with the slow moving water and air was wonderful. I enjoyed dozens of scenes like this as I traveled parallel to the river for miles.
This is a statue in honor of the Civilian Conservation Corps from the 1930s. It is located at the top of Hyner Mountain which also has a hang glider launch point.
If you look closely in the center and slightly off to the left you will see a litter of three black bear cubs playing on the rocks. As I approached they scurried off into the forest. I parked and waited hoping they might come back out but they never did. Earlier the same day I saw two rafter of turkey and many deer.
When driving through the mountains in Pennsylvania you will spend much of your time on scenic shelf roads like this one.
This is just one of dozens of waterfalls feeding into Trout Run just south of Wolf Run Wilderness Area. There were so many waterfalls in the area it was nearly deafening but in a very good way.
Did I mention that it rained for days?
