THE HIKE:
 |
| We started at the end of the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. |
 |
| The last mile marker, mile 70. |
 |
| Coming up on this kiosk, I went straight for the register to sign in and never bothered to read the information in the kiosk ... |
 |
| ... until the end of the hike when I read about the cemetery. I did not go far enough and missed it. Darn! |
 |
| Big Spring Reservoir on the right. |
 |
| First power cut ... |
 |
| ... with a view and smoke stacks :( |
 |
| Rhododendron Tunnel |
 |
| Enough leaves were down so that there were some nice views along the way. |
 |
| Second power cut. |
 |
| Zoom in to the countryside from the power cut. |
 |
| Mile marker 68 - never saw 69. |
 |
| A bench at ... |
 |
| Conemaugh Gorge Overlook |
 |
| Heading back not realizing there was an old cemetery a little farther along. Darn. |
 |
| I did not see it off the trail on the way out but I did on the way back. Balloon #51 of the year. |
