So Much Fun Camping with the Group!

Yesterday, Friday was a day where we completed one of the things on our "secondary" bucket list!  After a delicious breakfast, the 8 of us headed about 35 minutes away to Fallingwater, the home of the Kauffmans from the Pittsburgh Department Store fame and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright!  What a unique property with beautiful landscaping.  It was built in the late 30's for about $155,000.  The value today would be about  2 1/2 to 3 million.  We enjoyed the tour and found it extremely informative!

This home is built over the waterfalls and has soooo many
windows and terraces/balconies!  Feel like you are outdoors
from every room!

The Happy Campers!

From there we headed to Ohiopyles State Park to enjoy the picnic lunches we had packed before leaving the CG.  Stopped to take a short hike to Cucumber Falls - very beautiful area.  It was there that Ken accidentally dropped his camera and it ended up in the water for about 5 seconds.  Upon retrieving it, it did not work at all!  But, Ken is not one to let those types of situations upset him, so we just moved on!

Our Camping Group at the river in downtown Ohiopyles

Went to the town of Ohiopyles to spend alittle time along the river collecting some river rocks, the request of Neil Savage, and to enjoy some ice cream.  Back to the CG by 5:30.  Ken placed his camera in front of the fan to try to dry it out!  Later that evening, it was working, but the battery would not hold a charge for very long.  Hopefully a new battery will solve the problem.  We can only hope!!!!!
We made hot dogs around the fire but not till about 8:30.  The days go so quickly that supper always manages to be late.  Only to prove again that there are less hours in the day when you are camping!!!!
