A Day in the Park

 I should warn you that this post is going to be mostly pictures from our day at our favorite state park...Cathedral State Park.  It's about an hour away from our home.  It is the home of one of the largest stands of virgin Hemlocks in West Virginia.  I love going to this park and just hiking one of the trails.  Walking into this forest truly melts away any stress.

    1. Thank you, Mari. We do this at least once a year. I'm not sure how its name came about, but it's certainly an appropriate name because there is such peace when we walk through.

    1. Sounds like fun. I don't think it's all that far. I watched a YouTube video on Accident this evening.
