Beautiful Hiking @Harpers Ferry
The only photo not shown is the large snake we ran into on the rocks on the side of the path.
My wife screamed:
"S-n-a-k-e!"
And we were running for the hills in this direction and that.
We had no idea where she was pointing to.
It was pretty hilarious.

The Miracle Of The Red Sea
It was just a little cold--um, maybe a lot cold--but we slogged through the trails anyway and had a great time.
The water falling off the cliffs was still freezing on the rocks underneath and it made for some nice pictures.
One interesting photo that I've attached was of the water that had a veneer of red over the top--first it looked like maybe it was a tarp, but up close, we saw it was just like a carpet of red algae over the water--it was pretty spectacular.
I couldn't help thinking how perfect this is for Passover that begins on Monday evening, because it brought alive the image to me of G-d delivering the Israelites from servitude and splitting the real Red Sea for them to cross through to freedom.
While we didn't attempt to cross this red water, it was an amazing natural sight to behold (thank you G-d). ;-)

The Best Ice Cream CONES
There is an ice cream shop in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia called of all things -- SCOOPS.
Aside from the yum ice cream, they have a nice variety of toppings from Oreo to Caramel and lots of others in between (as you can see).
What I really liked too is the different cones--aside from your regular, low-fat, and sugar cone, they have the waffle cones--which are always de-licious.
But pictured here are also some very special cones--a pretzel cone and an M&M cone--they also have a chocolate chip one (sorry, no picture of that one).
Mouth watering yet? Try it, you'll like it! ;-)
Okay, my wife is telling me this blog post is strange--signing off for today...Andy

Tubing Away The Shenandoah
The hiking along the Appalachian Trail was incredible and the water was warm when we waded in off the river bank.
I have never seen it so busy on the Shenandoah river.
People were rafting, tubing, swimming, huddled on tubes together talking and singing, picnicking, and laying, relaxing, and suntanning on the rocks in the middle of the river.
What a beautiful day--thank you G-d.
