A few weekends ago the weather was perfect. Sunny, in the sixties, no humidity…fall had arrived, and we got outside and really enjoyed it.
We hiked to Governor Dick in Mt. Gretna on Saturday. Governor Dick is a tower on the top of a small mountain in the middle of the woods. And if I was a teenage boy I’d think the name is strangely apt and a little perverted. But since I’m a grown woman, I’m sure it’s actually named for a popular, former governor of our esteemed state.
Tee hee hee.
The hike begins…
After about a 40 minute hike we arrived at the tower.
The climb to the top (up a ladder to a platform, up a ladder to a platform, etc.) was fine, but the higher we got the more bugs we found congregating in the tower: ladybugs, stinkbugs, and wasps, mostly. Ben did NOT like this, and getting down was difficult, because he did not want to get back in the tower! Here is Maddie enjoying the view:
Time to hike back…
We also hiked over to Dinosaur Rock:
The next day we headed to a local orchard for some apple picking:
He’s the apple of my eye!
