5 October 2018 Ohiopyle and Other Adventures

We started our day with a visit to Finzel Swamp.  We were looking forward to this visit to a new location.  Our visit was going to be made under the cover of dense fog.



It was a peaceful journey.



We were looking for a cache near this small pond.  The cache appears to be gone, but the pond was a perfect place to stop and watch the world.



Our walk included a number of small birds alongside the trail.  Our journey brought us our first sightings of Tennessee Warblers.  The image does no justice, but we may never spot them again.


The dew made intricate spider webs very visible along the trail.

We made a stop at Ohiopyle State Park.  Our time in the woods was short, but we spent time exploring the Youghiogheny River.



There's not too many places where you can be this close to roaring water.



The water slides were awesome!



Our last stop of the day was a visit to Bear Run Nature Preserve.  These quiet woods are adjacent to Fallingwater.  It was a perfect location to wind down the day on the trails.
