Grateful for our National Park System. I have had so many wonderful adventures in our national parks. Years ago, when Jason and Jessica were little, I purchased national park passports. They lost interested not long after, but me, I'm a national park geek. One of my dreams has always been to visit all the national parks. This summer we visited a few. While in Wyoming we visited Fossil Butte and Grand Teton. I love getting my passport stamped and purchasing the stamps. So many of my best memories revolve around time spent in and around our national parks. So very grateful...

Ohiopyle, PA
Our adventures in July took us to a little town in western Pennsylvania, Ohiopyle. We enjoyed the slower pace and the beautiful surroundings. We camped one night in Ohiopyle State Park after being rained out our first night. It is no fun setting up a campsite, especially a walk in site that takes you up a steep hill, inthe pouring rain. While it rained our 2nd night, we were able to get everything set up and bathroom runs done before the real rain hit.
I love to hear the rain on the roof of the tent. I love the smell of the woods after a rain. I just love being outdoors.
Ohiopyle is a state park in Pennsylvania as well as a cute little town. The park surrounds the town and the town itself sits right on the Youghiogheny River Gorge which makes it a great spot for white water rafting and other water sports. When the town is hosting groups it is really bustling. Other times it is just a quiet little spot on a wonderfully beautiful river.
Ohiopyle is a good five hour drive from where we live, but we surely want to go back to explore the area. There are so many hikes that seem appealing and so many neat areas to discover. Perhaps next spring...
