Camping trip in the Pocono mountains

[JSpahn]

I hope you enjoy it was a combination of me and my wife taking some shots.

A BullFrog

A shot of my 4year old son and my nephew

Just a nice shot of the lake

Messin around with the macro setting on the camera(great fliers by the way)

Some falls

Another shot of the kids and that stunning guy on the left is ME!!!!


We ran into a black bear early in the trip, but of course we didn't have the camera with us, after that it was attached to me for the rest of the trip.

I Love the Pocono's!!!!!

What part of it did you go camping?  I belonged to a Hunting Lodge in Pike County about five miles below Promise Land Lake which was about 15 miles below Lake Wallenpaupack.

Oh, by the way great shots!!!

Promised Land, been going there since I was 4 ,its like my second home.

Sweet!!  I love seeing people's faces the first time they see the cedar water of the lake!!  
They get freaked out by the color!!

[JSpahn]

Yeah the water is kinda weird at first, then the guys were too busy catching frogs and crayfish. Later today we were looking for some plant fossils, nothing really to write home about this time, but they had a blast.

The funniest thing was when the kids finally got a look at the night sky, my nephew is over in Wilmington and never seen the milky way, and of course my son is 4 and everything is new and exciting still.

Great shots.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

The view of the sky at night up there is wonderful!!

The hunting lodge is right on Rt.390 and we use to walk down to Al's Alpine Tavern to get refreshments!!
It would be so dark coming back you could not see your hand in front of your face!! Pretty Spooky!!

 But the stars in the sky were amazing!!

We use to water ourselves at Yegermeisters, I think it is in Scotrun, had some good times there! And of course the old standby The Promised Land Inn.

[Willit Run]

Been to The Promised Land Inn many times and we had a different name we used to call Scotrun!!  ;)

No kidding? My parents were camping at Promised Land this weekend. They got lost hiking, apparently.

Nice shots though.

I know, right?

Good thing about hiking out there is you will always run into a road at some point. I grew up i Philly but at 6 I was roaming the woods of Promised Land all the time. When I was older I had my buddies from the city come up from time to time and they would freak out, thinking they were gonna die in the woods Are we lost? Do you now where you are going?  Once and awhile I would be hopelessly lost, but always found my way back.

Well the thing is, they relied too much on my dad's GPS than good old common sense.
