Road Trip – Day 2

Mountain Drive

Thursday, August 19

 

Early in the morning (8:00 a.m.) of day two we began our drive on the mountain roads where Cerwin and the guys from the lodge go hunting. They drive to pull-off areas, park their vehicles, and walk to a spot of their choosing.

 

 

It was a fabulous morning.

 

 

Cerwin had to remove a few fallen branches so we could continue. This was one of the largest.

Toward the end of our drive we met Sandy (from the lodge) and two other rangers. They were looking for fallen branches and cutting them up with chain saws.

 

 

This was a beautiful lake – and the water so still that I had fun taking reflections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Allegheny Trail goes through this area.

At this stop we could see the top of the mountains above the clouds…

 

 

…and a mountain creek below us.

 

 

Every area of these mountain roads was beautiful – and the morning fog added to this delight for my eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The road in this area was a bit rough in some places – but our four-wheel drive CRV did quite well.

It was a great morning for this lady who loves back roads.

 

 

It was almost more beauty than my eyes and mind could absorb.

Wait until you see what we did next.
