Ricketts Glen State Park:

- site of our community fun outing yesterday

- about a 3-hour drive each way, which i drove, marveling at Pennsylvania's epic rolling landscape and luscious autumn colors

- home of 22 waterfalls along a 7-mile hiking trail, which we hiked at our own unique pace in the midst of many other individuals making their way through the rain-showery day

- a much-needed immersion in the glorious spirit-nourishing wilderness: the eye-dazzling sculpture of rocks and boulders; the rich red-orange-yellow-brown brushstrokes of the leaves on trees, on the ground, and swirling in the air; and the surround-sound joy-bursting music of water, wind, and birds!

- i miss it already :)
