Cunningham Falls State Park

Saturday, Bobby and I took a day-long excursion to Cunningham Falls State Park, near Frederick, Maryland. CFSP boasts--among other things--the State's second-largest waterfall: a 78-foot (23.8 meters) cascading waterfall ( Read more... )

It's been flat-out hot over here, with temperatures getting close to 40C...and humid. Yech. Gotta love Maryland summers!

But I'll take that over cold, miserable weather any day...just as long as we have air conditioning in the apartment. Last year, when the temperatures soared, we discovered that our unit wasn't working. Great timing. o.O

I remember reading the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder as a kid (I used to fangurl them like I now fangurl the Sil) and she would always talk about the cloud-shadows moving across the prairie and I was so disappointed that it didn't work in my backyard. I'm glad to appreciate them now on the mountains.

(And when I visit Italy someday, if I end up in Volterra, I will look for it there too! ;^D)

As for hiking disasters, I think that I could do without icicles on my face. ;) I took Trail Hiking for phys ed credit in uni and our instructor used to give us "challenges," most of which I never did because they involved climbing up things or crossing high places on logs and I'm neurotic when it comes to things like that. ;) That's about as extreme as I've been while adventuring in the Great Outdoors.

I long for some warmth over here. We have about 10°C, far too cold for June. The only bad thing about some heat would be the fact that I do not have air conditioning at all, and my apartment faces south. So when it starts getting really warm all I'll wear is loose skirts and bikini tops, and I'll need a cold shower every morning. But I'm so tired of being cold right now. :--/

I bet you'd like it. And - among us - they have fantastic ice-cream there, too! :-D

I seem to remember the ice cream being mentioned in a post of yours...? I will definitely have to keep that in mind!

10C?! Yech! Thanks for making me grateful for our typical hot, muggy Maryland summer! ;)

Probably. I seem to obsess about Italy practically all the time. ;)
