A few weeks after moving, we had the privileged of having some friends from Erie come and visit us for a day.The Augustynak Family. My friend, JoBeth, found a state park on line that was about 30 minutes from our house. We planned to go hiking and have lunch at the state park for the day. The day was grey and a little drizzly, but it made for nice cool hiking weather. It was a great adventure. There are six hikes that one can take around the park to see beautiful landscape and area history. We began our hike on one of the most popular hikes called, Old Mans's Cave. It was really fun. Lots of waterfalls and lots of cliffs and climbing stairs.

Here's Elizaabeth, Allysa, and JoBeth coming down into the cave
Can you say "Stair Master!" So many stairs up the cliffs.
One of the waterfalls. Not much water right here, but people say that it's really impressive when they get a good rain.

Our second hike was to cedar falls. This was a very quick hike, only about 1 mile.
We took our lunch break between our hikes. We probably walked ago 2 or 3 miles that day.
We would love to come back again and do some of the other hikes. And some of the locals encourage us to even go back in the winter time to see the water falls all iced over. It is such a beautiful area. I am really sad that we did not find this park when we my parents were here. They would have loved it. So the next time anyone comes to visit, this a must do if you like outdoors and hiking.
