Doug Hale2350 viewsSee our "Featured" on Doug Hale. The little plaque under his hand is dedicated to him for his contribution to Guest River Gorge Railtrail.

I am richer because I met Doug and no, I didn't mug him. Besides Doug is still not a pushover. :)

Slim2506 viewsI brake for snakes.

Being of the Masonic order, I wanted to shake hands with Slim but, he has no hands.

Cheat!2362 viewsI zoomed in on this little cascade and used filters but, it's still pretty.

located on the last bridge before the trail ends in a train coming at you.

BJ wasn't too happy about the train deal, she has this thing about trains.

Not to worry, the railtrail is on what used to be a spur and the train missed.

Guest River2352 viewsThis is typical of what you will see of the Guest River.

There are a couple of larger cascades that I could not get to due to time restrictions but, rest assured I will return in the Fall when the leaves are gone.
