On Friday I packed up the camping gear and headed to my favorite spot in the Allegheny National Forest. I’ve been coming to this particular spot for about 14 years. It’s off a dead end dirt road that goes about 6 miles back into some of the more isolated forest around here. I LOVE IT! The only sound is that of birds, including turkeys, coyotes and the rustle of leaves from the wind and all the little creatures that live here (and the occasional plane passing overhead of course). I set my camera on a tripod and used the remote timer to photo me kicking around the camp. By the time Cat and the girl arrived all was set and waiting for them to join me for a wonderful weekend of outdoor pleasure.
