When two plus two does not equal four

It is.. well, was - Saturday AM. Dad and I were trying to decide what to do with our day off here in VA. Sight-seeing, yes, but where. I do a bit of a google search and find some information on the Cascades Recreation Area, which is part of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.

The Recreation area has a picnic area, but the showcase is a trail that leadsup Little Stoney Creek to the Cascades waterfall. According the website:

The trail itself is a thing of beauty also.  Much of it has been carved directly into existing rock and there are numerous stone steps, walls and walkways.  Four bridges allow hikers to get even closer to the creek and be surrounded by the sounds and sprays of falling water. Since the trail is so close to the creek, rocks may be slippery or icy, so be careful.

Me and my shadow…

Ok, not my shadow, but rather the shadow of the Gateway Arch
Gateway Arch
When my dad was moving back from TN a few years back, we took a ‘there-and-back’ trip to pick up the last of his stuff. On the way back we stopped in St. Louis to check out the Arch. I wish I had a better camera at the time - this would make a nice poster size print on my wall.
